Tehran residents on Tuesday denied U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s accusation that Iran is engaging in "economic terrorism," adding that the U.S. closure of the Strait is a greater threat.

"We are not terrorists, we are seekers of economic relations for the whole world, and for our country; and the Strait of Hormuz is a lever for policies," said Mostafa, a resident living in the north of Tehran, while speaking to Reuters.

On Monday, Vance accused Tehran of engaging in "economic terrorism against the entire world."

The U.S. military began a blockade of Iran’s ports on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump said, and Tehran threatened to retaliate against its Gulf neighbours’ ports after weekend peace talks in Islamabad broke down.
