Mohsen Rezaei, a military advisor to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, declared on Sunday that Iran holds a "legal right" to manage the Strait of Hormuz, asserting this is crucial for national security. He stated that Iran's control over the strait marks the end of 50 years of insecurity in the Persian Gulf. Concurrently, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran does not pursue nuclear weapons, attributing regional instability in the Middle East to the actions of the Israeli regime. In a related development, a potential agreement with the United States could see the number of ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz return to pre-war levels within 30 days. According to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), dozens of oil tankers and commercial vessels have already transited the strait, with the IRGC providing security and coordination for these vessels. The memorandum of understanding suggests a complete lifting of the naval blockade and the release of some of Iran's frozen funds in the initial phase.
