Vance on Iran's Closure of the Strait of Hormuz: This Game, We Can Play Too

Odaily News U.S. Vice President Vance accused Iran of engaging in "economic terrorism" by closing the Strait of Hormuz and defended the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, calling it a reciprocal response. Vance stated that Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz amounts to "economic terrorism against the entire world." "They have essentially threatened all vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz." "As the U.S. President has demonstrated, this is a game we can play too," he added. "If the Iranians want to engage in 'economic terrorism,' we will adhere to a simple principle: no Iranian vessel will be allowed to leave." (CNN)
