Gate News message: On April 14, U.S. Vice President Vance accused Iran of carrying out “economic terrorism” by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz (a globally important oil shipping route), and defended the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, saying it was a reciprocal response. Vance said Iran’s action to blockade the Strait of Hormuz amounts to “economic terrorism against the entire world,” “as they basically threaten all ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.” Vance said, “Just as the U.S. president has shown, we can play this game too,” “if Iranians want to engage in ‘economic terrorism,’ we will follow a simple principle: no Iranian ship will be able to leave.” (CNN)
