Iran on the Strait of Hormuz: Restrictions will not be lifted in the short term
Tehran, March 22 (Hibya) - Iran’s Consul General in Shanghai, Ali Mohammedi, stated that navigation restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz will continue until security threats against the country are completely eliminated.
According to CCTV, Mohammedi made statements about the condition of the strategic strait at a time when global oil prices have increased by 50 percent since the beginning of the conflict.
Iranian officials clearly stated that they currently have no intention of negotiating a new political agreement with the United States. Consul Mohammedi argued that the U.S. started the war while at the negotiating table and that Washington’s aim is not an agreement but to “impose unconditional surrender.”
It was emphasized that the “special measures” in the Strait of Hormuz can only be eased if threats against Iran are eliminated.
The statement noted that any possible peace would only be achievable by “guaranteeing that new wars will not occur and that history will not repeat itself.”
