National Security Commission Spokesperson: Without Humanitarian Considerations, Persian Gulf Desalination Plants Would Shut Down / American Ship Transit Costs More Than It Brings In

Hassan Ghasghavi, spokesperson for the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Parliament, questioned Trump's claim about increased oil transit through the Strait of Hormuz, saying: Ships passing the way America describes are of no use, because under this approach, the cost exceeds the returns.

Hassan Qashqavi, the spokesman of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, questioned Trump's claim about increasing the passage of oil through the Strait of Hormuz and said: "It doesn't help to pass the ships in the way that America says, because in this approach, it costs more than the tower."

According to the report of Ambassador Arjan Hassan Qashqavi, the spokesman of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, presents a different story about the situation in the Strait of Hormuz and believes that the initiative is still in Iran's hands.

According to Event 24, he said: Trump's statements regarding the Strait of Hormuz and its management and significant transfer of oil, etc., are definitely not true. The document of this claim is the result of work in the field of world energy, which contradicts the words of Trump and some Americans.

He added: Both the Americans and the Europeans announced that they want to release diesel and gasoline reserves, however, the price of oil may drop below $100 in a 24-hour period, but it will not stay at these prices. If, as Hegst announced a few days ago, or the words of the US Treasury Secretary - who, of course, differ in expressing opinions - 40 or, for example, 70% of the Strait of Hormuz are opened and the openings for the transfer of oil are created, and they said somewhere that they had more oil transfer than when the Strait of Hormuz was closed, it should be true, the reality of the world's energy should not be this.

Qashqavi clarified: Oil experts do not accept these words and this issue does not concern us Iranians either. These experts say that the drop in oil prices can indicate these claims, but this is not the case. In the following, it should be noted that a number of pipelines already existed; For example, the east-west pipeline or the Fujairah pipeline in the UAE, which do not necessarily pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Part of the statistics given by the Americans is based on these capacities.

He stated: You should know that if sometimes the statistics of oil transfer through the Strait of Hormuz are shown more, it is because of the permission given by Iran. In any case, Iran has its own policies, but it is interesting that the Americans collect the aforementioned capacities with Iran's permission and count them so-called dry and do their own propaganda work.

The spokesperson of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said: It should also be known that passing the ships in the way that the United States says does not help, because in this approach, its cost will be higher than its tower. Ships from a long distance must so-called slope in slope or ship to ship. It means, for example, to put 200,000 barrels in several 200,000 barrels. On the other hand, this increases the cost of insurance. However, the action we are taking to target transiting vessels that are properly declared by the Armed Forces Headquarters raises the question of whether the cost of these actions is equal to the revenue generated by the sale of oil to the other side.

Qashqavi added: All these policies show that nothing has happened that the world economy will enjoy a better situation in the Strait of Hormuz or that the conditions will change in favor of America. Therefore, I must say that the initiative in the Strait of Hormuz is still in our hands.

He reminded: Iran has humanitarian and environmental considerations in the Strait of Hormuz. If we target an oil-carrying ship, the resulting pollution will deprive the Persian Gulf countries of the opportunity to use the water of the Persian Gulf to produce fresh water. Producing fresh water from the polluted water of the Persian Gulf is a very difficult task. We have humane and moral considerations, and therefore, we do not act like the enemy who targeted Minab or Lamard, for example; Because we have sharia and moral restrictions and anyway, we are not indifferent to neighboring countries that are Muslim. We do not want the Muslim people of the neighboring countries to pay for the hostile actions against Iran.

In sum, Qashqawi's statements show that from Tehran's point of view, the limited passage of oil tankers and the use of alternative routes does not mean the end of the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz. However, the effectiveness of this lever cannot be measured solely by the statements of Iranian or American officials, and the actual situation of oil transfer, transportation and insurance costs, and the reaction of global markets also play a role in its evaluation. What is clear is that the Strait of Hormuz has become a part of the equation of pressure and bargaining between Tehran and Washington. An equation whose consequences are not only limited to governments and can affect the energy price and economy of countries in the region and the world.
