Iran Promises Strait of Hormuz Stability Through New Framework

In a significant declaration marking Iran's National Persian Gulf Day, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei asserted that the region's future will unfold independent of American influence. His message, delivered via a written statement from his office, directly addressed the long-standing presence of foreign powers, particularly the United States, identifying them as the primary source of instability in the Persian Gulf.

Pernyataannya itu disampaikan dalam pesan tertulis yang dirilis kantornya untuk memperingati Hari Nasional Teluk Persia, Kamis, 30 April.

Khamenei highlighted the critical geopolitical and economic role of the Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of Oman, describing them as vital arteries for global energy transportation. He articulated Iran's commitment to ensuring the security of this crucial waterway through a "new framework" for its management. This initiative, he suggested, would involve updating legal structures and governance, aiming to foster stability and shared economic prosperity among all regional nations.

Khamenei menilai kehadiran kekuatan asing, khususnya Amerika Serikat, selama ini menjadi sumber instabilitas kawasan.

The Supreme Leader's remarks come amidst heightened regional tensions, following a recent conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. While a ceasefire has been in place since April 8th, diplomatic efforts continue. Khamenei's emphasis on a "new regional order" and the exclusion of external actors "thousands of kilometers away" signals Iran's strategic vision for a self-determined future in the Gulf.

Iran akan menjamin keamanan kawasan melalui pengelolaan baru di Selat Hormuz, termasuk pembaruan kerangka hukum dan tata kelola.

This assertion of regional leadership and the proposed new framework for the Strait of Hormuz underscore Iran's determination to shape its own security landscape. The commemoration of National Persian Gulf Day, which historically marks the expulsion of Portuguese forces from Hormuz, serves as a potent reminder of Iran's long-standing assertion of sovereignty and influence in the region. The appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Supreme Leader following his father's death further solidifies this assertive stance.

Kerangka ini akan membawa stabilitas, kemajuan, dan manfaat ekonomi bagi semua negara di kawasan.
