US Naval Blockade of Iran Deemed War Crime by PressTV
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
PressTV reported that the United States’ naval blockade of Iranian waters has been labeled a war crime. The Iranian state broadcaster claims the blockade violates international law and threatens civilian maritime traffic. The statement was issued amid ongoing tensions in the Persian Gulf.
PressTV cited unnamed officials who said the blockade “constitutes a grave breach of the rules of war” and called for international intervention. No specific dates or ship names were provided in the brief.
The claim follows a series of U.S. naval operations in the region, though PressTV did not detail any prior incidents or sanctions related to the blockade.
