Iranian officials tell Trump: The Strait of Hormuz will definitely reopen, but not to the United States.

According to reports by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Russia Today (RT), on April 1, Ibrahim Aziz, the chairman of Iran’s Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, posted a message to the U.S. president Trump, saying that the Strait of Hormuz will certainly reopen, but it will not be opened to the United States.

That day, Aziz wrote on the social media platform X, saying, “Trump has finally realized his dream of ‘regime change’—it’s just on the maritime order in that region!” “The Strait of Hormuz will certainly reopen, but it won’t be open to you (the United States); it will only be open to those countries that comply with Iran’s new laws.” Aziz added that the era of a “hospitality” spanning 47 years is over and will never return. The BBC explained that Aziz was referring to the period since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

With the U.S.-Iran conflict at sea continuing for more than a month, the Strait of Hormuz—an essential link for global shipping—has been seriously disrupted, triggering a chain of reactions such as a surge in global shipping costs and adjustments to supply chain layouts. The Strait of Hormuz plays an important role in the global supply and transportation of oil and liquefied natural gas. Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, had said on March 16 that the current supply losses have already exceeded those during the 1973 oil crisis. Restoring normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is crucial to stabilizing the oil market.

Iranian media such as Tasnim News Agency reported on March 30 that Iran’s Islamic Parliament’s National Security Committee approved a plan for managing the Strait of Hormuz, established the role of Iran’s armed forces in control, and clearly prohibited ships from the United States, Israel, and countries that impose unilateral sanctions on Iran from passing through the strait.
