Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Baqeri reiterated Tehran's firm stance on the Strait of Hormuz, stating that passage through the strategic waterway is a crucial factor for Iran and that the Islamic Republic will not compromise on the matter. The statement, reported by the Abu Saleh al-Arabi Desk channel, comes amid ongoing tensions over the strait. As The Zioneer reported on July 11, a senior US official warned Iran to guarantee free passage by the following day or face 'difficult military plans.' Since then, multiple Iranian officials have asserted control over the strait. The current statement reinforces that position without offering any new specifics. It remains unclear how the US will respond to the latest Iranian declaration.
