WANA (Aug 06) – Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran’s Expediency Council, said that Iran would not allow the creation of an alternative route or a second corridor in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

 

Rezaei warned that if the blockade continues, U.S. vessels and forces would face serious risks and potential casualties. He also called on Washington to change its approach, saying that Iran would not tolerate the continuation of the current wansituation.

 

“We will never allow a second corridor to be opened in the Strait of Hormuz,” Rezaei said.

 

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important energy transit routes, and any tensions surrounding it could affect maritime security and global energy markets.
