Tehran Confirms Its Firm Stance on Preventing Regional Oil Exports if Restrictions Continue

mniraq - The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, affirmed that his country will not allow any party to sell or export oil through the region if Tehran is prevented from exercising its right to export its own oil. These remarks came in response to US statements regarding the imposition of a naval blockade on Iranian exports, indicating clear hints at continuing measures related to the closure of strategic water straits in the region. Despite reports indicating the existence of regional understandings to manage navigation traffic, Iranian authorities insist on linking the stability of oil corridors to the full lifting of economic and maritime restrictions imposed on them by Washington.
