Iran's stance on the violation of the ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz
Azizi confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Gulf region in general will not be subjected to external powers' dictates. He added, referring to recent statements from Washington: "No one will believe these tactics of blaming others." The statements come amid escalating tensions over shipping lanes that carry about 20% of the world's oil. Iran considers any unilateral American naval deployment a direct violation of the 2024 ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire agreement, mediated by regional mediators in late 2024, explicitly prohibits any foreign military escalation in the Gulf. Iran's position is clear: any American move to impose a new security framework is considered a violation. This stance aligns with Tehran's firm doctrine of protecting its territorial waters. Azizi's statements reflect a broader consensus within the Iranian government that the Strait of Hormuz remains a red line.
