Iran has issued a strong warning to the United States, promising a decisive military response if Washington continues its actions termed as blockade, piracy, and maritime robbery in the Gulf region, especially around the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy transit route. The warning was articulated by Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the nation's top military command, which oversees operations of both the Iranian Army and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC). The statement emphasized that the US military would face serious consequences if it persisted in its current course of action. Iranian officials claim their armed forces are now at an unprecedented level of readiness to defend national sovereignty and interests. They are closely monitoring US naval activities in the region, asserting their preparedness to respond to any aggression. This warning coincides with ongoing US enforcement operations, which have seen at least 34 vessels redirected from Iranian ports. Additionally, diplomatic attempts for peace talks between the US and Iran in Islamabad are reportedly faltering, with Tehran bypassing its Pakistani hosts to communicate directly with Washington, demanding an end to the US blockade as a precondition for negotiations.
