Deputy Speaker: Strait of Hormuz Status Will Not Return to Pre-War Conditions

Tehran - BORNA - Speaking on the sidelines of a supervisory visit by the Parliament's Civil Commission to Hormozgan Province, Nikzad stated that the legislature is pursuing a new law for the management of the Strait, based on the directives of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

"In drafting this law, international legal requirements and the rights of neighbors will be considered," Nikzad said. "However, it is certain that we will not retreat from our inherent rights. The Strait of Hormuz will no longer return to the situation that existed before the [Third Imposed] war."

The Deputy Speaker further explained that revenues generated from new transit tolls and duties in the Strait would be allocated toward strengthening national defense, improving public livelihoods, and reconstructing and completing the country’s infrastructure.

The remarks were made during a supervisory mission to the ports of Hormozgan aimed at monitoring the clearance of basic commodities and assessing damages caused by recent enemy strikes.

During the visit, Nikzad and members of the Civil Commission inspected the Port of Bandar Abbas to evaluate the latest status of cargo discharging and the impact of attacks by the Zionist and U.S. regimes on port infrastructure.

Nikzad noted that the Ports and Maritime Organization (PMO) has already taken measures to compensate for the damages. He remarked that despite enemy attempts to force a surrender through military pressure, such goals have failed on the battlefield.

Regarding the ongoing activity of the legislature during the conflict, Nikzad highlighted that the Parliament remains fully operational through its ۱۶ specialized commissions, coordinating closely with economic and technical teams. He concluded by reiterating that the Armed Forces, the Supreme National Security Council, and the PMO are working together to finalize the new legal regime for the management of the Strait of Hormuz.
