Iran Vows to Prevent Use of Strait of Hormuz for Aggression

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has repeatedly emphasized that Iran does not consider its neighbors as security rivals and wants powerful neighbors. He stated that Iran does not seek to create insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz but cannot allow others to freely use the strait for their interests while imposing aggression on Iran and preventing its access to its own waters. Pezeshkian also criticized the supply of missiles and deadly military technologies to the region, which he said creates insecurity. He stressed that Iran is ready for dialogue but rejects the language of force and threat.
