Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagae said on the 20th that Iran will never allow the Strait of Hormuz to be “maliciously used,” thereby threatening Iran's security and national interests. Bagae stressed at the press conference that on the Strait of Hormuz issue, as a country bordering the strait, Iran has always made efforts to cooperate with Oman, another coastal country, to take necessary measures and establish necessary mechanisms to firmly safeguard national interests and sovereignty. In response to the US attack on the site of a nuclear power plant under construction in southwestern Iran on the 19th, Bagae said that the International Atomic Energy Agency's silence and disregard will definitely not strengthen Iran's trust in the agency. He said that Dahlhoven's nuclear facilities were previously under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the US attack must be condemned by the international community. Bagae also refuted US President Trump's statement on the 15th that Iran had allowed a detained American citizen to leave Iran. He stressed that according to the judicial department's announcement, there is no news that American prisoners who meet the characteristics mentioned by Trump have been released from Iranian jails, and “the person they mentioned is neither a prisoner nor charged with espionage.”
