Survival: Ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz must coordinate with the relevant authorities of Iran/ships passing through unsafe routes will have accidents.
In response to a question about the current state of the Strait of Hormuz, the differences between the positions of Iran and the United States regarding the way ships travel in this waterway, and reports published about ships hitting mines and the shooting down or landing of American drones in the southern regions of the country, the Foreign Ministry spokesman said:
Regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, the General Headquarters of the Armed Forces and the military forces are experts and have expressed an opinion on this matter. The news we hear is very clear. In dealing with the enemy's drones, we accept the drones that can be safely rescued, and shoot down the drones that invade our territory. It is obvious.
Regarding the defense of the Strait of Hormuz and the territorial integrity of Iran, the task is also quite clear. Whenever we talk about the Strait of Hormuz, we have to remember that this strait was open until March 9. The insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz is a direct result of America's aggressive actions in the service of Israel.
In the current situation, ships intending to cross the Strait of Hormuz must coordinate with the relevant authorities in our country to maintain their security and Yemen. 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 temptation from the American side, have accidents in many cases. Therefore, I do not think there is any ambiguity in this matter. As long as America continues its interventionist and illegal actions, we will not see the return of security and Yemen to this waterway.
