A spokesman for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters issued a statement earlier today in response to President Donald J. Trump's announcement that compensation for damage to commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz would be paid from frozen Iranian assets. The spokesman warned that any shipping companies or vessel owners that accept compensation derived from those frozen funds would be subject to Iran's blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, signaling Tehran may seek to target or deny passage to recipients of the proposed payments.
