Iran MP threatens 'oil tanker for an oil tanker'

A spokesman for Iran's parliamentary National Security Committee has issued a direct threat against the United States, referencing the seizure of Iranian oil tankers. He stated, 'We will not remain silent. An eye for an eye, an oil tanker for an oil tanker.' This threat underscores the escalating maritime tensions in the Persian Gulf and the potential for retaliatory actions by Iran. The statement comes amid a broader confrontation involving US naval blockades and recent Iranian seizures of commercial vessels.
