> Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei warned that countries participating in the US naval blockade of Iran or supporting other US actions deemed illegal would face serious repercussions. He called the blockade an act of aggression. The United States resumed it on July 14 and has repositioned 70 vessels, while announcing plans for a “financial offensive” against Tehran.
