Iran's Judiciary Chief, Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, said Iran had thwarted what he described as an enemy calculation that a naval blockade would prevent essential goods from reaching the country.
According to Iranian state media, Mohseni-Ejei said Tehran had taken the initiative in response to the assumed blockade strategy, though he did not specify which country or entity he was referring to, nor did he detail the specific measures Iran took.
The remarks come amid a broader context of tension surrounding shipping and trade routes in the Gulf region, including recent disputes over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical corridor for global oil exports and regional trade.
Officials in Iran have repeatedly emphasized the country's ability to withstand external economic pressure, including sanctions and disruptions to trade, framing such resilience as a demonstration of national strength.
Mohseni-Ejei's comments were made in the context of remarks on national security and economic matters, reflecting the Iranian judiciary's broader involvement in commentary on state affairs beyond its core judicial functions.
No independent verification of the claim regarding the thwarted blockade was immediately available.
