Iran's Main Strategy According to Major General Safavi: Smart Management of the Strait of Hormuz

Head of the Shahid Haj Qassem Soleimani Research Institute for Sacred Defense Sciences and Studies, stressing that the Strait of Hormuz is an inseparable part of Iran's territorial waters, said: Our main strategy is the intelligent management of the Strait of Hormuz in the face of the American naval blockade against our country and our dear people.

The head of Martyr Hajj Qassem Soleimani Institute of Sacred Defense Sciences and Education, emphasizing that the Strait of Hormuz is an inseparable part of Iran's territorial waters, said: Our main strategy is the intelligent management of the Strait of Hormuz in the face of the American naval blockade against our country and our dear people.

Ambassador of Arjan-Political Group: Maj. Gen. Seyyed Yahya Safavi, explaining the approach of the Islamic Republic of Iran, said in the scientific-specialist meeting "Effective geographical requirements in the defense strategy of the Strait of Hormuz", that the Strait of Hormuz is an inseparable part of our territorial waters. Our sovereignty and management over this region is not a political claim, but an indisputable legal and geographical right.

He added: Iran does not seek to create tension, but it is also powerful in exercising its sovereignty. When this waterway becomes a platform for the passage of military equipment that directly targets Iran's national security, managing and limiting traffic is not only the right, but also the strategic duty of our armed forces.

The head of the Holy Defense Science and Education Institute rejected the hypothesis of the decline in the importance of the Strait of Hormuz due to the construction of pipelines or alternative routes and added: The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic bottleneck in the global energy network. Despite all efforts to create parallel paths, the dependence of the world on this passage is a structural dependence. The importance of this strait in today's volatile world market is even more than in the past; Because more than 20% of the world's oil and energy flow still revolves around this bottleneck.

Distinguishing between "closing the strait" and "strait management", Major General Safavi noted: Our main strategy is the intelligent management of the Strait of Hormuz in the face of the American naval blockade against our country and our dear people. The management of this strait is the transformation of this bottleneck to remove maritime sanctions and a path to achieve sustainable peace and security in the region with the participation of the countries in the region.

The scientific-specialist meeting "Effective geographical requirements in the defense strategy of the Strait of Hormuz" was held by the strategic geography research group of the Holy Defense Research Institute and with the presence of the head of the research institute Major General Pasdar Seyed Yahya Safavi and a group of defense, legal and geopolitical elites.

In response to Ambassador Arjan's question about Iran's response to the reports published regarding the UAE's intelligence, financial and logistical support to terrorist groups in eastern Iran, Ismail Baqaei, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, emphasized that the country's security, law enforcement and military institutions deal decisively with any terrorist activity, and consultations with neighboring countries are ongoing to prevent terrorists from abusing the conditions in the region.
