March 6th — Iranian media outlet Fars News reported that Iran launched a broad attack on U.S. and Israeli targets. On the same day, Iran’s mission to the United Nations stated the claim that Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz is completely unfounded. Meanwhile, Israel’s ambassador to the UN said, “Give us a few more days, and Iran will find it even harder to disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.” (Source: Jinse)

On March 5 local time, Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations issued a social media post refuting claims that Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz, calling the allegations baseless and completely absurd. Iran has consistently abided by international law and upheld freedom of navigation, the mission emphasized. The post also accused the U.S. of being the real threat to maritime security: Just yesterday, the Iranian frigate *Jamaran* — on a naval visit to India with 130 sailors aboard — was unjustly sunk by a U.S. submarine in international waters roughly 2,000 miles from Iran’s coast. Over 100 sailors were killed in the attack. “This reckless act violates fundamental principles of international law and freedom of navigation,” the mission stated.
