"Port security in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea is either for everyone or for no one Spokesperson of Khatam Al-Anbia center headquarters: In the name of Allah, the Merciful
The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran consider defending the legal rights of our country as a natural and legal duty, and based on this, exercising the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the territorial waters of our country is the natural right of the Iranian nation.
Based on this, the provision of security in the territorial waters of the Islamic Republic of Iran by the armed forces of Jan Barkaf will continue with determination, and as it has been announced many times, vessels belonging to the enemy do not and will not have the right to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and other vessels will continue to be allowed to pass through the strait in accordance with the rules of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Also, considering the continuation of the enemy's threats against the Iranian nation and the national security of our country, after the end of the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran will firmly implement a permanent mechanism to control the Strait of Hormuz.
Criminal America's restriction on the movement of vessels in international waters is an illegal act and an example of piracy.
The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran clearly and decisively declare that the security of the ports in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman is either for everyone or for no one.
If the security of the ports of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman is threatened, no port in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will be safe. And we are victorious except for me, in the presence of Allah, the Exalted, the Wise"
