Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports is an 'act of war' and a violation of the ceasefire, emphasizing Iran's capability to counteract such measures.
As the U.S.-Iran ceasefire approaches its end, tensions escalate with the U.S. Navy's seizure of an Iranian cargo ship, prompting Tehran to threaten retaliation and calling the move an act of piracy.
