Iran confirms that while passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be regulated, it will not be completely closed, addressing concerns over regional maritime stability and global oil supply routes.
Iran’s Ambassador to China stated that passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime route for global oil trade, will remain open though under controlled conditions. The announcement comes amid heightened regional tensions, reassuring markets that no full blockade is planned. The strait, located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, is one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints, and its accessibility is vital for steady global crude oil movement.
