“The Trump administration shifted from a strategy of ‘managing global energy’ to one of ‘disruption, and the naval blockade began as part of a grand disruption project to contain China, Russia, and Europe.’” the organization said in a message posted on social media.
“However, 20 days later, the White House is increasingly convinced the project has failed and Tehran has emerged as the center of an ‘anti-disruption coalition’,” the message added.
On February 28, the United States and the Israeli regime launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran, during which then Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and several senior military officials were martyred.
Iranian Armed Forces responded with weeks of missile and drone strikes targeting American and Israeli military positions in the occupied territories and the Persian Gulf region, inflicting heavy damages in 100 waves of counterattacks over a period of 40 days.
Iran’s retaliation also featured the country’s closing the strategic Strait of Hormuz to vessels belonging to enemies and their allies.
The Islamic Republic then subjected the waterway to further restrictions, conditioning passage of vessels to their securing permission from relevant Iranian authorities. The latter move came after the US announced continuation of an illegal blockade it has been trying to impose on Iranian vessels and ports.
