Ala'eddin Boroujerdi, a member of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stated that the decision to change shipping arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz was made at the highest levels of the regime following the war, and will be implemented definitively. He said a new law regulating management of the strait will be approved soon by parliament, and warned that any action without coordination with Iran is doomed to failure.
Iranian parliament member Ala'eddin Boroujerdi, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, announced that the decision to alter shipping arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz has been made at the highest levels of the regime and will be implemented definitively. He said a new law regulating management of the strait will be approved soon by the parliament, and that all relevant bodies will be required to comply. He warned that any action in the strait without coordination with Iran is doomed to failure.
The statement marks a significant step in Tehran's post-war policy regarding the Strait of Hormuz, indicating that the regime is moving to codify its control over the waterway through legislation. The new law, once approved, would formalize the requirement for prior coordination with Iranian authorities, potentially altering the legal framework for transit through the strategic chokepoint. Boroujerdi's remarks underscore Iran's determination to assert unilateral control over the strait, challenging the principle of free navigation.
