The spokesperson of Iran's National Security Committee stated Saturday evening that the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its pre-war status, hinting that Tehran sees the change as a central strategic issue.
The spokesperson of Iran's National Security Committee stated that the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its pre-war status, according to reports. The remark reinforces Tehran's position that the status of the strategic waterway has changed permanently amid the ongoing conflict.
Several Iranian officials have made similar statements in recent weeks. The Zioneer has previously reported on comparable declarations by the Iranian nuclear negotiator, parliament speaker, and army spokesman, all asserting that the strait will not revert to its pre-war condition. The repeated emphasis suggests a coordinated strategic messaging campaign by Iranian leadership.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, has been a focal point of the US-Iran confrontation. The statement comes as diplomatic talks between the two countries remain deadlocked.
