Iran vice president says Hormuz will remain under Tehran’s control
Esmail Saghab Esfahani, a vice president and head of Iran’s Strategic Energy Policy and Management Organization, said management of the Strait of Hormuz would remain in the hands of the Islamic Republic and that its enemies would not be able to gain control of it.
Speaking during a visit to Qom, he also said Iran had the capacity to respond to threats against its energy infrastructure and would answer any attack on the country’s energy resources with a “decisive and proportionate” response.
