Strait of Hormuz open to all except Iran’s enemies — Iranian official

Iran’s representative to the UN’s International Maritime Organization says the Strait of Hormuz remains open to all shipping except vessels linked to “Iran’s enemies”, the Iranian semi-official Mehr news agency has reported.

Ali Mousavi, Tehran’s representative to the IMO, says passage through the narrow waterway is possible by co-ordinating security and safety arrangements with Tehran.

“Diplomacy remains Iran’s priority. However, a complete cessation of aggression as well as mutual trust and confidence are more important,” Mousavi says, adding that Israeli and US attacks against Iran were at the “root of current situation in Strait of Hormuz”.
