Spokesman for the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, Ebrahim Rezaei, addressed U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to impose a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. He said the statements are "more deception than reality," adding: "If Trump implements his blockade, it will be considered warfare and we will respond." He also said: "We may reveal other cards that we have not yet used in this game. If you want to improve the situation, you must respect the Iranian people and accept your defeat."
