A spokesman for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has stated that following the U.S. seizure of the Iranian vessel TOUSKA, Iranian armed forces were prepared for a decisive response but were constrained to protect the lives of crew families aboard. Given the current circumstances, the spokesman declared that once the safety of the vessel's families and crew is secured, Iran's armed forces will take necessary action against the U.S. military. This statement escalates tensions following the U.S. naval blockade enforcement in the region.
