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

Odaily News, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi stated on social media on the 26th local time that making decisions without clear arrangements, establishing parallel routes, or failing to consider Iran's stance as a littoral state cannot ensure safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Any credible framework must be based on coordination with Iran and adherence to the provisions of Article Five of the Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding; otherwise, the established parallel routes will be suspended.
