Tehran is threatening to use the Strait of Hormuz to put pressure on Washington.
Iran is considering moving to a new phase of confrontation with the U.S., which would involve the creation of a special Economic Warfare Council. Tehran intends to use its control over the Strait of Hormuz as a means of exerting pressure on Washington and warns that it will not agree to resume negotiations unless its demands are met, reports “Cursor”.
The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, made a statement to that effect. According to him, the creation of an Economic Warfare Council is already being discussed by the leadership of the Islamic Republic, and a decision to form the new body could be made in the near future.
Rezaei emphasized that the proposed body should demonstrate to U.S. President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent what Iran is capable of in the context of economic confrontation.
Thus, the Iranian leadership is considering the possibility of institutionally formalizing an economic war against the U.S., while simultaneously increasing pressure on the American administration regarding security and shipping in the Persian Gulf.
Rezaei paid particular attention to the negotiations between Tehran and Washington, which, according to him, are continuing through intermediaries.
According to him, over the past two months, the U.S. side has approached Iran three times through various diplomatic channels. Pakistan, Qatar, and Iraq served as intermediaries.
About two weeks ago, Tehran presented Washington with seven conditions that it considers necessary for further dialogue.
The Iranian side warned that until these demands are met, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed to the Americans, and negotiations will not resume.
Rezaei reported that the U.S. has already submitted its response. However, while some of Iran’s demands were accepted, others, in Tehran’s assessment, lacked sufficiently clear explanations.
Consequently, Iran considers the U.S. proposal insufficient and is awaiting further clarification from Washington.
The Strait of Hormuz, which is of strategic importance for international shipments of oil and other energy resources, will become a separate front in a potential economic standoff.
Rezaei stated that security in the Persian Gulf is impossible without Iran’s participation in managing this maritime route.
According to him, control over the strait is not only a tool of geopolitical influence but also the country’s most important economic resource.
At the same time, the Iranian leadership is exploring broader opportunities to generate revenue from the use of this strategic route, not limited to closing the strait to shipping or imposing tolls on passing vessels.
