Seyed Abbas Araqchi, our country's Foreign Minister, wrote in a message on the X network regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz: - Strait of Hormuz is not closed. Ships hesitate because insurers fear the war of choice you initiated—not Iran - No insurer—and no Iranian—will be swayed by more threats. Try respect - Freedom of Navigation cannot exist without Freedom of Trade. Respect both—or expect neither - Strait of Hormuz is not closed.
