Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Morteza Hamedani publicly revealed a new strategic vision regarding the management of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Hamedani stated that the region will be under Iran's full control following the end of the US military presence in the area. This new approach signals a significant change in the management of regional security and energy corridors.
Hamedani emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be just a defensible area but will be actively managed through legal and military practices. Iran's strategy aims to adopt a more proactive stance against external threats in the region. Additionally, it was stated that the US military bases in the region are the primary source of instability.
The Supreme Leader noted that Iran has long ensured the security of the Persian Gulf coasts and that this new management approach will be supported by regional cooperation and a shared sense of destiny. Iran's decision to strengthen control over the Strait of Hormuz marks a significant shift in the balance of power in the region.
