Iran threatens closure of Strait of Hormuz in response to US economic pressure

Iranian officials have declared that nations participating in US-led economic warfare will be treated as enemies, explicitly threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz. This rhetoric follows President-elect Trump's pledge of an 'overwhelming offensive' against Iran, signaling a significant escalation in bilateral tensions. It remains unclear if Iran possesses the immediate capability or intent to execute a full blockade, which would disrupt global energy transit.
