Iran's Araghchi: Sovereignty of the strait of hormuz belongs to Iran and Oman.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: The Strait of Hormuz is, without a doubt, under the sovereignty of Iran and Oman. There is no international waterway in the Strait of Hormuz. For many years, this waterway was open to all ships. Iran and Oman ensured its security and provided services; until now, all services were free of charge. However, the future management of the Strait of Hormuz will not be like the past. No one can challenge Iran and Oman's sovereignty over the strait. The management of the Strait of Hormuz will not return to the pre-war system.
