Mohammad Reza Aref, the Vice President of Iran, has stated that maintaining security in the strategic Strait of Hormuz is not a free service. He emphasized that global powers cannot restrict Iranian oil exports while expecting unhindered and complimentary security in the region.
These bold remarks come after Donald Trump claimed that American forces had seized an Iranian-flagged ship attempting to bypass US blockades. Consequently, the Iranian military confirmed launching retaliatory drone strikes against United States warships in the Sea of Oman.
Iranian state media reports indicate that Tehran is currently unwilling to participate in direct negotiations with Washington. However, Iran's foreign minister discussed the pressing need to preserve regional peace and stability during a call with his Pakistani counterpart.
