President Raisi's legal adviser warned that Iran will reciprocate if its ships are seized, responding to a statement by the US Department of Justice. Recently, the Department of Justice issued a statement announcing the seizure of more than 500,000 barrels of Iranian fuel. The move, the DoJ said, aims to clamp down on the "Iranian Revolutionary Guards' financing network". “If an Iranian ship is seized, we will reciprocate and the legal way is not closed in this regard," legal adviser Mohammad Dehghan said.
