Iran puts strike option on table if US naval blockade continues

Mohsen Rezaei, military adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, said on May 29 that Tehran would carry out strikes if a US naval blockade persists beyond a specified period, Iran International reports.

He stated that the IRGC relies on “highly cost-effective drones” and fast boats as core deterrence tools, adding that Iran is monitoring US movements despite what he described as Washington’s attempt to operate “in the dark.”

“The United States is coming toward us in darkness, while we monitor every move they make,” Rezaei said.
