Boroujerdi, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, in his latest statements, emphasized the Islamic Republic of Iran's steadfastness in controlling the Strait of Hormuz. He stated that this strait, as one of the main routes for oil tankers and oil shipments, is under Iran's supervision and control, and this situation will not change at all.
The Strategic Importance of the Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most critical points in the world for oil transportation, with about 20 percent of the world's total oil passing through this region. Boroujerdi further stated: "We have kept the Strait of Hormuz strong and stable, and this condition will continue." These remarks come at a time when tensions in the Persian Gulf region have increased due to international sanctions and political disputes.
Political and Economic Consequences
Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz has profound implications in the global political and economic arenas. Given that many countries around the world depend on Persian Gulf oil, any threat or disruption in this region could lead to rising global oil prices and market volatility. Boroujerdi stressed that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not back down from its established positions, and this issue could strengthen Iran's stance against international pressures.
At the same time, these statements reflect Iran's firm determination to maintain its security and national interests against external threats. If tensions and sanctions continue to escalate, Iran may take more serious actions to defend its rights in the Strait of Hormuz.
