YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn Thursday, April 9, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh told ITV that the Strait of Hormuz was open but all ships were required to coordinate with his country's military to ensure safe passage.
Khatibzadeh said, "Until now, the Strait of Hormuz is open. Of course, there are technical restrictions because of the war zone and because of many arrangements that Iran did during the war, during this aggression against Iran. So there are some technical restraints, and this is why that all the ships that would like to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, they have to communicate with our army and our military contact points there, because of the limitations in this strait. And this strait is a very narrow strait. It is in our territorial water, plus, Omani territorial water, it is inside our water. So we have to be very careful for the safety and security of tankers and vessels."
