On July 27, local time, the central headquarters of the Iranian armed forces in Khatam Ambia issued a statement saying that while increasing regional insecurity, the United States has continued to implement an illegal maritime blockade against Iran and has threatened commercial ships, oil tankers, etc. along Iran's coasts and territorial waters over the past three days. This action by the United States will be viewed as an expansion of the regional war. Iran's armed forces will never let go of any threat from the US military and will respond.
