Iran has no alternative but to ensure its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
According to “Elchi”, this was stated by Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref during a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin in Dushanbe.
“Iran has no choice but to exercise its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz to ensure its own security,” Aref said.
According to him, the responsibility for the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz lies with the United States: “In the end, Washington will have to pay the appropriate price for it.”
