Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said the presence of US forces over the past four months has caused turmoil and insecurity in the region and that Tehran hopes regional states will draw lessons.

Hassan Kashkavi, a member of Iran’s parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, told state Press TV on Sunday that Iran prefers to manage the Strait of Hormuz through cooperation with regional states, particularly Oman, and that "the clear official position is that future management of the Strait will be arranged by Iran." A former long‑time Foreign Ministry diplomat, he said UNCLOS permits coastal states in wartime to take measures to ensure safe maritime passage and protect their maritime security, and described recent US strikes linked to Hormuz disputes as violations of the UN Charter and infringements of national sovereignty.
