According to BlockBeats, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says Iran manages the Strait of Hormuz, while a senior adviser states the waterway remains Tehran’s final leverage in future negotiations.
BlockBeats reported on May 28 that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Iran remains in control of and continues to manage the Strait of Hormuz, warning that any disruption would face a decisive response. Separately, a senior adviser to Iran’s Islamic Revolution leader said Iran will no longer rely on signatures or written commitments in future negotiations and views the Strait of Hormuz as its final leverage against foreign pressure and what he described as Western bad faith. Together, the statements reinforce the waterway’s strategic importance as a global energy shipping chokepoint with implications for oil flows, regional tensions, and broader market risk sentiment.
