On April 30, 2026, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that the Persian Gulf should not be a platform for foreign imposition, particularly targeting the United States amid tensions over the Strait of Hormuz. He stated that attempts to impose maritime restrictions on Iran are bound to fail, reinforcing Iran's role as a guardian of security in the region. Pezeshkian highlighted the bravery of Iranian naval forces in protecting vital energy transport routes and condemned U.S. strategies as contrary to international law. He warned that any insecurity in the Persian Gulf would be the responsibility of the United States and its allies. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) echoed these sentiments, claiming that U.S. strategies have shifted from managing global energy to causing disruption, which they believe has ultimately failed, positioning Iran as a central figure in opposing such disruption.
