Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister: Safe Navigation in the Strait of Hormuz Must Be Coordinated with Iran

Odaily reported that on the 26th local time, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi stated on social media that making decisions with unclear arrangements, adopting parallel routes, or failing to consider Iran's position as a coastal state cannot guarantee safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Any credible framework must be based on coordination with Iran and compliance with Article 5 of the Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding; otherwise, established parallel routes will be suspended.
