Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described ensuring the security of the Strait of Hormuz as a historical duty for his country during a meeting with his Indian counterpart. He emphasized that Iran will always act as the guardian of this strategic waterway.
Araghchi stated on social media that Iran is a highly reliable partner for all friendly nations, assuring them they can rely on the security of their maritime trade. These remarks come amid rising regional tensions.
Following conflicts with the United States and Israel, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz to ships from these nations. In response, US President Donald Trump has announced a complete naval blockade of Iranian commercial ports by American forces.
