The law was adopted in response to damage to nuclear facilities and the killing of nuclear scientists during two recent conflicts, Ahmadi told state media.
Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Ali Abdollahi on Monday said Iran will strike US interests “without limitation” if Washington launches an attack. Abdollahi warned Israel that opening a new conflict “through miscalculation” would trigger a harsher Iranian response than previous confrontations.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) says that since resuming a naval blockade of Iranian ports in mid-July as part of a sustained campaign to choke off maritime trade with Iran, its warships have now redirected 130 commercial vessels and disabled 3 ships that refused to comply.
13 commercial vessels violating the blockade or tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shadow network have been destroyed over a 12-week span, CENTCOM said.
