BlockBeats News, April 13th: In response to the threat from U.S. President Trump and U.S. Central Command, which stated that at 10 p.m. Beijing time today (April 13th) it would begin the "blockade of Iran," Iran issued a strong response. Iran's Armed Forces Central Command's Hatam Abu-Yahya stated that the security of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman ports either "belongs to everyone or no one." Iranian media cited sources as saying that if the U.S. military takes action in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. would also "lose the Strait of Mandeb."
