Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemns US blockade, calls it ceasefire violation
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said the US blockade of Iran’s ports and coastline is an act of aggression that violates the ceasefire, the Guardian reported on Monday.
"By deliberately inflicting collective punishment on the Iranian population, it amounts to a war crime and crimes against humanity,” Baghaei posted on social media.
Baghaei's remarks on Sunday came after Iran's fresh maritime threats in reaction to the US blockade, which completely closed the vital Hormuz Strait.
