It is reported that the state-owned National Petrochemical Company has ordered firms to suspend exports until further notice.

It is also noted that some of Iran’s petrochemical production centers have been targeted by Israeli airstrikes in recent weeks, while a U.S. naval blockade is preventing vessels from using Iranian ports.

If the news is confirmed by Iranian officials, it would effectively mean that U.S. President Donald Trump, by imposing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, has achieved his objective — to force Iran, through economic pressure, to come to the negotiating table with a different stance than before.

For reference, U.S. forces have deployed around 20 warships to the region where the Strait of Hormuz is located, while CENTCOM vessels are issuing warnings.

Tehran has made no official comment so far, but threats have been issued

Meanwhile, a military adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mohsen Rezaei, stated that Iranian launch systems are ready to strike U.S. warships and “sink them.”

Rezaei, who is also a member of the Expediency Discernment Council, said in a television interview that Iran could intensify military pressure on its adversaries and that any attempt to impose a naval blockade on Iran would be “unsuccessful,” according to Press TV.

He specifically commented on potential U.S. moves in the Persian Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically important passage through which a large share of global oil tanker traffic passes.

The official also claimed that Iran possesses “unused capacities” to respond to U.S. military actions and reiterated accusations that the United States and Israel have conducted offensive operations against Iran, including clashes that followed the February war.

Rezaei also emphasized that extending the ceasefire is not necessarily in Iran’s interest and that any future agreement would have to include, as he stated, recognition of Iran’s terms and international confirmation at the United Nations.
