Remains: Resolution 2817 has no legal, political and moral legitimacy.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to a question about the argument of several countries in the region regarding Iran's violation of the principle of release, transit and transition contained in the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention and their reference to Security Council Resolution 2817 in this context, said: This is a legal issue that is currently being misused. First, Iran is not a member of the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention, and at the same time we published a very clear interpretive statement on this matter, which is now clear how necessary and accurate it was.
Referring to the conditions of the war and the prevailing situation in the region, Bekai stated: We are not in a state of peace now. Even if we refer to the 1982 Convention as a criterion, this Convention upholds the conditions of peace and is silent about the movement of ships in time of war. The actions Iran has taken are completely permissible based on customary international law. As a coastal state, we have taken measures to ensure the interests and national security of Iran against the open military aggression of America and Israel; The aggression was supported by the countries on the other side of the coast in different ways.
