Briefing: Exclusive: Tehran does not want to block Strait of Hormuz, Iranian ambassador tells Euronews

The Iranian ambassador to the UN has clarified that Iran does not plan to block or mine the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route for global oil supply.

This statement stands in stark contrast to recent comments made by Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, which suggested a more aggressive posture regarding the strait.

The Strait of Hormuz is critical for international trade, and any disruption could have significant implications for global oil markets and shipping logistics.
