Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Chairman Ebrahim Azizi stated Tuesday that U.S. intervention in the region is not useful and will not change realities on the ground, according to a report from a single curated source. He asserted that the Strait of Hormuz is an inseparable part of Iranian sovereignty and that only Tehran is authorized to manage the strategic waterway. Additionally, Azizi claimed that Lebanon's sovereignty would not be achieved through disarming Hezbollah, but rather by ending what he termed 'the occupation and aggression.' The remarks align with a broader Iranian message linking the Strait of Hormuz issue to developments on the Israel-Lebanon front, as The Zioneer has previously reported. Separately, Acting Defense Minister Brigadier General Majid Ebnel-Reza said Iran would respond without hesitation to any violation of the ceasefire, stating Tehran does not trust its enemies and remains on full alert. The statements come amid ongoing U.S.-Iran talks and continued IDF operations in southern Lebanon.
