Iran Labels U.S. Naval Blockade an \u0022Act of War\u0022, Rejects Trump Ceasefire Extension
Iran has formally described the U.S. naval blockade as an \u0022act of war\u0022 and warned of immediate military retaliation against American interests. Tehran has also rejected a proposed ceasefire extension put forward by President Donald Trump, underscoring what it called a breakdown in diplomatic efforts. Iranian officials said any additional disruption to its shipping would trigger a \u0022tanker for a tanker\u0022 response. The latest escalation is raising security risks around key global energy chokepoints.
