Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam has called the United States’ naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz a “reckless misstep meant possibly for a dignified exit and face-saving”.
The envoy has said on X that the “unlawful, provocative and non-constructive act” of imposing a naval blockade aims to create the idea that “things are imposed by force and thereby justifying deployment of ammunition, rhetoric, loss of lives and costs on American taxpayers”.
“Still, the miscalculation adds up to the inventory of faults with dire consequences for the whole region and beyond,” Moghadam adds.
