Iran Hardliner Criticizes Reopening Of Strait Of Hormuz Hossein Shariatmadari, editor of Iran’s hardline newspaper Kayhan, criticized senior Iranian officials for agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that Tehran was giving up one of its strongest sources of leverage without receiving meaningful concessions in return. In an editorial, Shariatmadari questioned Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi over what he described as abandoning a “decisive” tool that had brought Iran’s adversaries close to economic pressure. He also rejected proposals to charge transit fees on ships passing through the strait, arguing that any financial benefit would be insignificant compared with the losses Iran has suffered, including the deaths of senior military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians, as well as extensive damage to the country. The comments highlight ongoing debate within Iran over whether the Strait of Hormuz should be used as a strategic pressure point in negotiations with the United States and its allies.
