OREANDA-NEWS  The introduction of a naval blockade of Iran is not a game. This is how the Iranian Embassy in South Africa reacted to the policy of US President Donald Trump on the social network X.

"This is not a game, baby," the diplomats wrote, attaching to the publication a cartoon of Trump depicting him playing a game console with a pacifier in his mouth.

Earlier, The New York Times newspaper, citing analyst data, wrote that the American naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz had failed. According to available information, several ships, including those previously moored in Iranian ports, have safely passed through the strait since the Americans imposed a blockade on Iranian ports.

After the failure of negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, Trump announced the beginning of a blockade of a key logistics artery in the Middle East. This measure is expected to hit Iran's oil exports.

On March 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a message to Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and President Masoud Peseshkian, wished all Iranians to overcome the ordeal with dignity.
