The Iranian foreign ministry has said that vessels associated with the United States or Israel will be blocked from transiting the Strait of Hormuz, ahead of an April 7 deadline from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has warned the country’s power plants and bridges could be struck if the Strait of Hormuz is not fully reopened.
During an April 6 press conference, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said that Tehran won’t allow what it deems enemy vessels to pass through the strait, according to Tasnim, a news agency affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
