US Vice-President JD Vance has accused the Iranian government of engaging in an “act of economic terrorism” by blocking traffic through the Strait of Hormuz
Vance told.Fox News’ Brett Baier that President Donald Trump has shown that “two could play at that game”.
He said that if the Iranians “engage in economic terrorism” the US will abide the principle that “no Iranian ships are getting out either”.
Vance also discussed the talks with Iran over the weekend saying a lot of progress was made.
“The ball is in Iran’s court,” he says.
He said Iran has to be flexible and accept the “critical things” the US demands – US control of Iran’s enriched uranium, and a verification mechanism to ensure it does not develop a nuclear weapon.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned that Iran has not “revealed” many of its “capabilities” and said that “if the war continues, we will unveil capacities that the enemy has no conception of”.
According to reports by Iranian outlets, IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi said that Iran will introduce “modern” methods of warfare that the “enemy will have very limited ability” to counter.
