Iran lawmaker says Strait of Hormuz will not return to pre‑war state

An Iranian lawmaker has stated that the Strait of Hormuz will not revert to its pre-war status. This declaration comes in the context of ongoing tensions and a perceived "US-Israel war on Tehran." The lawmaker's assertion suggests a significant shift in Iran's stance regarding the strategic waterway. While the specific timeline or the exact nature of the proposed new state were not detailed, the statement implies a permanent alteration to the Strait's operational conditions. This development could have substantial implications for global oil transport and international maritime security in the Persian Gulf region.
