A top military adviser to Iran’s supreme leader said on Thursday that the US blockade of Iranian ports “will fail,” warning that Tehran could choose confrontation if it persists.
In remarks aired early on Thursday on state television, Mohsen Rezaei said Iran has multiple ways to bypass the blockade, stressing that efforts to impose it would not succeed.
He added that if the blockade continues, Iran may resort to confrontation to break it.
Rezaei also outlined possible scenarios in the event of another war, saying it would likely focus on southern coastal areas, extending towards Isfahan, with some activity in the west of the country.
He warned that such a conflict could include bombings and assassinations in Tehran.
