🚫 CLAIM: Iran's ambassador to the International Maritime Organization recently claimed that the U.S. military is using "threatening, abusive, and provocative language" against Iranian mariners and causing "serious stress and psychological pressure to civilian crews." This is FALSE.

✅ FACT: The highly successful U.S. blockade against Iran has been in place for months and professionally communicated. The only country attacking civilian mariners transiting regional waters is Iran. Despite these unjustified attacks, commercial traffic continues to flow through the Strait of Hormuz with coordinated protection from U.S. forces and regional partners.
