Iran: US Maritime Blockade Enforcement Is Escalatory Action
⚓ HORMUZ — Iran just reframed the blockade as the US escalation, not theirs. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Tehran's framing inverts the legal trigger: Washington calls Hormuz restriction Iranian escalation; Iran now labels US naval enforcement the aggression. That symmetry freezes interdiction options before Thursday and hands Iran grounds to retaliate against US ships as aggressors. Oman must resolve not just transit mechanics but who legally fires first.
