Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: US Claim of Hormuz Strait Returning to Normal Does Not Match Field Realities / Claim That Tehran Has Lost Its Leverage in the Strait Is Untrue / We Are Not Happy About This Situation Either, as Security of This Waterway Is Most Needed by Iran
Baghaei stated: American claims have no correspondence whatsoever with what we observe on the ground. They can keep claiming that the Strait of Hormuz no longer has any effect and that Iran has lost its leverage, but we are doing our work.
Ambassador Arjan: The press conference of Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Beqai was held today, Monday, October 20, 1405, with the presence of media and journalists.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the question that "the President of the United States constantly claims in his various statements that the Strait of Hormuz has returned to the normal process of energy transfer. Various analyzes of the transfer of oil from different countries from the north and south of the Strait of Hormuz have been published, and it is claimed that Iran has lost its leverage in this region. He said: "That one asked Ashtar, where do you come from, O Farkhandepi?/ He said, "You come from a warm bath/ He said, "You can see yourself from your knee."
Baqaei clarified: The claims of the Americans have no match with what we see in the field of reality. They can still claim that the Strait of Hormuz is no longer effective and that Iran has lost its leverage, but we are doing our job.
Ismail Baqaei, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, continued: I don't think that the markets will pay much attention to such claims; The market has its own rules and regulations. The international developments and the appeal of other countries to provide the fuel they need are also well indicative of the reality.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated: However, I must clarify that the developments in the Strait of Hormuz did not take place with the purpose of leveraging. What we have witnessed in this waterway since March 9th was the direct result of the actions of the US and the Zionist regime in attacking Iran. This waterway, which Iran has the longest coastline in its vicinity, has been misused to attack our country. In such circumstances, we have adopted a series of measures based on the provisions and standards of international law.
He continued: As long as America insists on the continuation of the insecurity of this waterway and the region through naval blockade and economic war - actions that it is proud of and all of which are examples of military aggression against a country - security will not return to this waterway.
Baqaei emphasized: We are not happy about this situation; Because the security of the Strait of Hormuz is most important for us. But America's aggressive actions have caused trouble for the region, for this country itself, for the region, and for the world. This fact should be continuously exposed to the eyes of the world in order to determine which side is the real cause and founder of the existing situation.
