In a statement on Saturday, the spokesperson said that, in line with previous understandings reached during negotiations conducted in good faith, the Islamic Republic of Iran has agreed to allow a limited number of oil tankers and commercial vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in a managed manner.
However, he stated that the United States, due to repeated breaches of commitments and a history of misconduct, has continued acts of “piracy” and “sea robbery” under the pretext of what it calls a blockade.
“As a result, control over the Strait of Hormuz has been returned to its previous state, and this strategic waterway is under strict management and control by the Armed Forces,” the spokesman added.
The spokesman further stated that until the United States ends restrictions on the free movement of vessels from Iran to their destinations and from elsewhere to Iran, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will remain tightly controlled and unchanged from its previous status.
