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

Odaily reported that Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi posted on social media on the 26th local time, stating that making decisions without clear arrangements, through parallel routes, or without considering Iran's position as a coastal state cannot guarantee safe navigation through 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.
