The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, on the proposed arrangements for passage through the Strait of Hormuz and US involvement:
"The 1982 committee is not here either; that is, under all these conditions, an understanding has now been reached between Iran and Oman. And according to one of the clauses of this agreement, seven points are the basis for the waterway agreed between us and Oman here, and it is based on these seven points.
This is also confirmed by the IMO; In fact, it is an international transit corridor, and the rules here are based on those of the coastal countries, which actually enforce it.
What business does the US have to come all the way from a distance of 12,000 kilometers to try to control the strait? If the strait means nothing to the US, then let them go. Why are they standing here? ".
