Iran ensures safe passage. Based on the security measures and legal framework of the Strait of Hormuz, vessels can pass.

Jalali's remarks, made on April 20, emphasize Iran's commitment to ensuring the passage of vessels under a "new legal framework." While details on associated fees remain undisclosed, he indicated that the Iranian Parliament is exploring various options to manage the situation. This suggests a potential shift in how maritime traffic and related regulations in the Strait will be handled.

The goal that the US and Israel declared was to promote regime change, but the Islamic Republic is more united than ever. We are more united than before and have an iron will.

The ambassador also addressed recent geopolitical confrontations, characterizing alleged attacks by the US and Israel as unsuccessful attempts to incite regime change. He stressed that the Islamic Republic has emerged stronger and more unified in the face of such pressures. Jalali also refuted claims of Russian interference in regional conflicts, labeling them as inaccurate.

these are inaccurate information

These statements were issued shortly after the US reported that its destroyer had fired upon and seized an Iranian cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman, alleging it was attempting to evade Washington's blockade. Iran, in response, claimed its armed forces launched drone attacks on a US warship, describing the US action as "armed piracy." President Masoud Pezeshkian has also called for diplomatic solutions to de-escalate tensions with the US, criticizing the US blockade as a betrayal of diplomacy.
