Iranian official: Straits routes will be closed soon
Iranian official Mohammad Reza Nadeqi stated that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be considered fully open for oil transportation, as limited operations are conducted via small boats that transfer oil to tankers in the open sea. He explained that some individuals use small boats to carry oil, warning of the possibility of closing "the few passages" created by those he called "lawless actors." These remarks come amid ongoing debates over navigation in the strait, with Tehran asserting that there is coordination and routine traffic procedures, while international reports indicate that a small amount of oil continues to pass through—though at lower levels than usual—against a backdrop of security tensions in the region, which is among the most critical global energy routes.
