Iran's foreign minister: Strait of Hormuz routes and administration will not return to their pre-war state
Published
Iran's foreign minister has said that the routes through the Strait of Hormuz and the administration of the strait will not return to the state they were in before the war. According to him, the waterway's routes have been destroyed. A news agency report mentions that a US drone is behind the destruction. More detailed information about the course of events is not yet available.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow sea passage between Iran and Oman. It connects the Persian Gulf to the open sea. A large share of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas shipments pass through the strait, so its situation affects global energy markets as a whole. Fuel and raw material prices in Finland may also be indirectly affected.
According to the foreign minister, the administration of the strait will not be restored to its former arrangement. However, he did not give details of what kind of new arrangement is coming or when it will be put into use. Nor have the positions of other countries on the matter been reported yet.
Only little information is available on the matter, and the situation may change quickly. For this reason, it is worth following announcements from reliable news sources in the near future.
