Iranian official: Tehran’s ‘restraint is over’
Al Jazeera
The spokesperson for Iran’s parliament’s Foreign Policy and National Security Committee, Ebrahim Rezaei, says that as of today, Tehran’s “restraint is over”.

“Any aggression against our vessels will be met with a heavy and decisive Iranian response against American vessels and bases,” Rezaei wrote on X.

“The clock is ticking against the Americans’ interests; it is to their benefit not to act foolishly and sink themselves deeper into the quagmire they have fallen into. The best course is to surrender and concede concessions. You must get used to the new regional order.”

The spokesperson’s comment comes after the Iranian military spokesperson, Akrami Nia, warned this morning that any country enforcing US sanctions against Iran would “definitely face difficulties passing through the Strait of Hormuz”, according to the Tasnim news agency.
