Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagae said on the 13th that the provisions of the Ibero-US memorandum of understanding relating to the Strait of Hormuz are clear, there is no room for arbitrary interpretation, and the US is directly responsible for the recent escalation of the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Iran maintains ties with Qatar, Oman, and Pakistan, and diplomatic efforts are continuing. Bagae said at a press conference on the same day that section 5 of the memorandum of understanding clearly stipulates that the Strait of Hormuz will be managed by Iran in the future, and that Iran will conduct negotiations with Oman, another coastal country, and at the same time engage in dialogue with countries in the region. By inciting some countries in the region, the United States is trying to bypass safe routes of passage determined in coordination with Iran. This move not only violates the memorandum of understanding, but also jeopardizes shipping safety by establishing parallel routes. Some ships have been forced to turn off tracking devices, increasing the risk of collisions and environmental accidents, and leading to an escalation of regional tension. Bagae said that Iran will use all necessary means to protect national interests and security, and there are no differences within Iran on this point. Over the past few days, Iran has maintained ties with Qatar, Oman, and Pakistan. The relevant mediators are continuing to use their good offices to prevent further escalation of regional tension. In response to claims about Iran attacking countries in the region, Bagae stated that Iran has not and will not attack any regional country. The defensive attacks carried out by Iran only target bases, facilities, and positions used by the US to attack Iran, including logistics and support facilities. He reiterated that any region or facility in any country, as long as it is used to invade Iran, may become the target of Iran's defensive actions. The specific timing, method, and location of the operation will be decided by the Iranian armed forces in accordance with national interests. Referring to US warships allegedly escorting 20 merchant ships through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, Bagae said that regional security should be guaranteed by regional countries through negotiations to establish collective security mechanisms without external intervention. America's so-called act of escorting merchant ships shows that the US side insists on continuing to create an unsafe situation in the region; it will not enhance confidence in international shipping; it will only increase regional tension and instability.
