President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, has stated that the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is “destined to fail,” as tensions persist in the region.
His remarks come amid stalled negotiations and ongoing geopolitical strain between Iran and the United States.
The statement was accompanied by warnings from a senior official of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who said that any US attack—even if limited—would be met with “long and painful blows” in response.
Iranian media also cited Majid Mousavi, commander of the Aerospace Force, as saying that Iran has demonstrated its capabilities against US regional bases and could similarly target American naval forces.
Such rhetoric reflects familiar warnings from Tehran in response to potential escalation by Washington.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that the United States and Iran have reached an open-ended ceasefire agreement, though tensions and uncertainty remain high.
