Mehr news agency reported two senior Iranian officials spoke within 24 hours
outlining a new approach to the Strait of Hormuz. Rezai, secretary of Iran’s
Supreme National Security Council, emphasized economic and logistical control
intended to raise costs for shipping companies and insurers without direct
conflict. Parliament speaker Ghalibaf raised Tehran’s military red line, saying
Future responses will not be confined to limited, reciprocal measures. An
agreement with Oman was cited as a diplomatic channel to share passage
management. The combined statements indicate a dual-track strategy to tighten
control over the Strait while elevating deterrence.
