Iran has announced the start of a 'dual blockade' against the United States, claiming it is exacting a heavy price. The statement, published by The Zioneer, comes amid the ongoing US military campaign against Iran.
Iran has declared the commencement of a 'dual blockade' against the United States, asserting that the campaign is already exacting a heavy toll. The announcement, published by The Zioneer, provides no specific details on the nature of the blockade — whether economic, military, or diplomatic — or the claimed costs imposed on the US.
The declaration follows weeks of escalating US-Iran hostilities. As The Zioneer has reported, the US launched widespread airstrikes across Iran in June, which a subsequent report described as part of a broader preparation for 'more complex operations.' The US administration has since implemented a multi-dimensional pressure strategy combining strikes, economic pressure, and diplomatic levers, according to earlier reporting.
Iran's statement comes after President Trump threatened to strike Iran 'very hard' over three consecutive nights, and follows Iran's own declaration of war on the US earlier this month. The 'dual blockade' claim appears to be a new rhetorical and operational posture from Tehran, though its concrete implementation remains unverified. No independent confirmation of the blockade's effects has been reported.
