🇮🇷🇺🇸 The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council clarifies that Iran wants to open the Strait of Hormuz so that they can use it as a source of income.

"Our control of the Strait of Hormuz is very valuable to us, and this does not mean that we want to completely close the Strait of Hormuz, but we can derive significant economic benefits from it in terms of the costs related to environmental issues, ship insurance and security matters that can be paid to us.

Iran's mismanagement of the Strait of Hormuz also makes Kharg Island, in the Persian Gulf, unsafe. The closing of the Strait of Hormuz was, of course, a deliberate act; In fact, it happened because of the Americans, because of the aggression of the Americans."
