Lifted in toto from the Wall Street Journal's live coverage, April 13:
The spokesman for the National Security Commission in Iran’s Parliament said President Trump’s threat to impose a naval blockade could be nothing more than “bluster,” adding that Iran would consider such a move “an act of war” to which it would respond.
To retaliate against a blockade on all vessels entering and exiting Iran’s ports, Tehran might reveal other cards it holds and hasn’t “played yet,” Ebrahim Rezai said on social media. The only way to improve the current situation would be for the U.S. to “respect Iranians” and not to demand at the negotiating table what it couldn’t accomplish during the war, Rezai added.
