Kayhan criticizes IRGC over Hormuz passage remarks
Kayhan newspaper, overseen by the slain Supreme Leader representative Hossein Shariatmadari, criticized the IRGC Navy for allowing ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz despite what it described as an ongoing US naval blockade against the Islamic Republic, calling the move a “one-sided concession.”
“Why, after the failure of the US military’s actions on Monday, did the IRGC Navy announce that ships could pass through and that we would even supply their fuel and other needs?” the newspaper wrote.
Kayhan added: “Why, when the blockade on Iran’s maritime trade has still not been broken and Trump emphasized its continuation again on Wednesday, should we have taken a position that the enemy could interpret, rightly or wrongly, as granting a unilateral concession?”
