Need to coordinate with the relevant authorities in Iran regarding ships that intend to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Ismail Bakai, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at a press conference with the media:
Dealing with enemy drones, we both land them safely and shoot down the drones that invade our territory. This is an obvious matter.
Regarding the defense of the Strait of Hormuz and the territorial integrity of Iran, the obligation is also quite clear.
We should mention that this channel was open and safe until March 9th. The insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz is a direct result of the aggressive actions of the United States and Israel.
Ships intending to transit must coordinate with the relevant authorities of our country to maintain their safety and security.
Iran's actions are based on international law and in accordance with the protection of national security, as a coastal state.
Unfortunately, we see that ships that pass through unsafe routes and under pressure or bribery from the American side, have accidents in many cases.
As long as America continues its interventionist and illegal actions, we will not see the return of security and safety to this waterway.
