Threats from Iran: Full control over vessel traffic in the Persian Gulf

Against the backdrop of regional tensions, political analyst Mohammad Marandi issued a stern threat regarding freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf. According to Telegram channels associated with Iranian security sources, including "اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری", Marandi declared that "no ship will be allowed to leave the Persian Gulf without approval from Iran's armed forces."

Marandi, who serves as a commentator close to the administration in Tehran, added in a forceful tone that "only a fool would try to ignore Iran's warning." The remarks were widely circulated on Iranian social media, including channels such as "اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا حمله" and "خراسان آنلاین".

"آخرین خبر خوزستان" also reported on Marandi's remarks as part of the local discourse, highlighting the threatening message directed at international vessels in the region. The reporting sources, which present a line aligned with the official narrative of Tehran, thereby emphasize Iran's intention to tighten its military oversight of strategic shipping lanes, a step that could lead to further escalation in tensions with the West.
