An Iranian source cited by the Iranian state-affiliated outlet PressTV stated on Wednesday that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz under its own arrangements, as established in the Islamabad memorandum of understanding. The source also warned that 'any threat will be met with a firm response.' The statement comes amid ongoing tensions over the strait's closure and the implementation of the MoU signed between Iran and the United States. The Zioneer has reported on the MoU's provisions, including articles on the lifting of the blockade, sanctions relief, and the reopening of the strait. The latest claim, from a single anonymous source, has not been independently corroborated.
