Araghchi: Strait of Hormuz has changed forever and new routes are imposing themselves

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will not return to what it was before the war, noting that the passage had remained open without any obstacles to navigation previously.

Minister Araghchi said that the Strait of Hormuz had remained open for several decades, and neither Iran nor Oman imposed any obstacles on navigation; rather, they worked to consolidate security, safety, and environmental care within it.

He added: "We must acknowledge that new facts have imposed themselves. The routes in the Strait of Hormuz will not be like previous routes, and the management of the strait will not be as it was."

Commenting on current talks about the possibility of renewed war in the region, Araghchi said: "These days, talk of war is being revived. I am already thinking about the post-war phase. Whether war occurs or not, our policies remain fixed in place."

He continued with advice: "If they have reason, they will not try military attack and aggression against the Iranian people again. They tried twice and saw the result; if they want to try again, they know themselves that they will not get a different result from previous times."

Araghchi said during a televised conference in Tehran: "If there is any rationality, they will not attempt to launch military action against Iran."

Bloomberg Agency quoted Araghchi as saying: "In all negotiations with the Americans, we emphasized that the war must end on all fronts."

He said: "We are ready to cooperate with all countries in the region, especially in the Gulf... and Iran continues active communication with all Gulf states."

He concluded this aspect: "We strive hard to reach a common orientation and understanding regarding a new security structure in the region... This is the only way to achieve peace and stability."
