Tehran will assert stronger role in Strait of Hormuz after war, adviser says
An adviser to Iran’s leadership said the country should use the war to reshape its position in the Strait of Hormuz, according to state media on Thursday.
Mohammad Mokhber said the situation offers “one of the most important opportunities” to redefine Iran’s role in the strategic waterway.
“After the imposed war, by defining a new regime for the Strait of Hormuz, Iran will move from being under sanctions to a powerful position in the region and the world,” he said.
He added that Western powers had previously “restricted” Iran but said the outcome of the war could shift that balance.
