Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva told Euronews on Thursday that Tehran "does not have any intention to block the Strait of Hormuz,” contradicting the first public statement of the newly-chosen ayatollah who threatened the opposite.
“Iran has not any intention to block the Strait of Hormuz. Whatever situation the state of Hormuz is suffering from is because of the war imposed on the region. There is a war around the Straight of Hormuz. There is the exchange of fire," Ambassador Ali Bahreini said.
