BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 5. A new balance is
currently forming in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian Parliament
Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on his X account, Trend reports.
According to him, maritime and energy transit have been
threatened by the U.S. and its allies' violation of the ceasefire
and the imposition of a blockade on Iran in the Strait of
Hormuz.
"Iran knows very well that the continuation of the current
situation is unacceptable for the United States. However, Iran has
not even started anything," he noted.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced a new
zone of strict maritime control over the Strait of Hormuz on May
4.
As a result of the war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran from
February 28 through April 7, the free passage of ships through the
Strait of Hormuz was significantly restricted.
U.S. Central Command announced that approximately 15,000 U.S.
military personnel, guided-missile destroyers, and more than 100
aircraft will be deployed in Operation Project Freedom to evacuate
ships that have been wrecked in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz
due to the military conflict.
