Iran’s parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee spokesman
Kashkavi told state media the committee completed a technical review and has
reached agreement with two littoral states on a transit corridor through the
Strait of Hormuz. The corridor will be implemented initially on a temporary
basis before being made permanent and is awaiting the parliament presidium to
place it on the plenary agenda for a vote. Kashkavi added Iran has not initiated
aggression, is in a defensive posture, and, under international law, considers
itself in a state of war in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
