Spokesman for Iran’s Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy Hassan Qashqavi has said Tehran is in an “existential war” and has confirmed that Iran targeted US warships with ballistic missiles, Al Jazeera reports.

“This blockade should never have existed,” said Hassan Qashqavi.

“Four days ago, the president of our country said at the Bishkek summit that we are ready to return to negotiations, but American officials do not pay attention to these issues and instead intensify the blockade.”
