Iran's Foreign Minister: Hormuz Strait Closed Only to the US and Its Allies

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on the 14th that the Hormuz Strait remains open, with restrictions only imposed on ships of the United States, Israel, and their allies.

Araghchi said during an interview with MS Now TV: "Many tankers and ships are passing through the Hormuz Strait, which is closed only to the tankers and ships of the United States and Israel."

He emphasized that concerns about shipping safety in the region have nothing to do with Iran.

He said: "In fact, the Hormuz Strait is open. It is closed only to tankers and ships belonging to our enemies, that is, the countries that attack us and their allies. Other ships can pass freely."
