Hamid Hosseini, spokesperson for Iran’s Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters’ Union, stated that Tehran intends to closely track all movement through the strait. According to him, the objective is to ensure the ceasefire period is not exploited for the transfer of weapons.
“Iran needs to monitor what goes in and out of the strait to ensure these two weeks aren’t used for transferring weapons,” Hosseini said, adding that while passage would remain open, procedures would be time-consuming. “Everything can pass through, but the process will take time for each vessel, and Iran is not in a rush.”
