Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said Tuesday evening that the Strait of Hormuz will be managed by Iran under Iranian regulations, and that international law will be preserved in the process, according to the 301 network.
Ghalibaf revealed that a special mechanism for handling breakdowns and disputes in the strait has been established for the next 30 days, including a direct communication line. He stressed that the line is separate from vessel transit permits, which have their own channel, and is intended solely for resolving issues and clarifications when necessary.
The remarks expand on his earlier statement Tuesday afternoon, as The Zioneer reported at 14:32, that the strait's management will not return to its pre-war arrangement. Iran has consistently asserted its sovereign role in the waterway, including toll collection, since the framework deal with the US was announced. Ghalibaf's latest comments detail the operational mechanism Iran intends to apply unilaterally.
