In a statement posted on social media platform X, Azizi said that the Strait of Hormuz is part of Iran’s sovereign waters and that decisions about its future will not be made under any external pressure or threats. He added that Iran reserves the right to take all necessary measures to protect its national sovereignty and security.

The Iranian lawmaker used strong language in his remarks, stating that the Strait of Hormuz is not a tool for anyone’s personal interests or pressure tactics, but rather an issue directly linked to Iran’s sovereignty. He said that final decisions regarding the waterway will be made only by the Iranian people and the armed forces.

According to media reports, the statement comes at a time when concerns about regional tensions persist despite ongoing diplomatic contacts between Iran and the United States. The Strait of Hormuz is considered one of the world s most important maritime routes for global trade and energy shipments, and any disruption there could have significant international consequences.

Reports indicate that Iranian officials have recently issued a series of strong statements regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, increasing concerns at the global level. Some sources claim that Iran has hinted at possible measures, although conflicting statements have also emerged from various parties.

Earlier, some statements attributed to Iranian officials referred to potential strict measures regarding maritime activity in the Strait of Hormuz, including warnings for vessels to exercise caution. However, international attention remains focused on diplomatic developments in the region.

Meanwhile, the United States has also emphasized the importance of the Strait of Hormuz, stating that freedom of navigation and secure passage through the strategic waterway are matters of global interest. U.S. officials have warned Iran that any attempt to close the Strait or disrupt international shipping could have serious consequences.

Strong remarks have also been attributed to U.S. President Donald Trump, who has called on Iran to reduce regional tensions and reconsider its policies regarding allied groups, stressing that key maritime routes vital to global trade and energy supplies must remain open.

German Defence Minister has also commented on the situation, criticizing current U.S. policy in relation to the ongoing tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.

The increasing rhetoric over the Strait of Hormuz comes as peace talks and diplomatic efforts continue in the region. The situation in the waterway has the potential to directly impact not only the Middle East but also global energy markets and the international economy.

The international community is now closely watching the next moves by Iran, the United States, and other regional actors, while diplomatic circles continue to emphasize the importance of negotiations to reduce tensions.
