June 30 — Ibrahim Aziz, chair of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and
Foreign Policy Committee, said the era of U.S. interference in regional states’
internal affairs is over and asserted that management of the Strait of Hormuz is
in Iran’s hands. He said protecting Lebanon’s sovereignty requires ending
Israeli occupation, added that reliance on U.S. plans undermines regional
stability, and called U.S. military bases a threat to regional states.
