Iran lawmaker says any Hormuz move without Tehran will fail

Any move related to the Strait of Hormuz without coordination with Iran is doomed to fail, a senior Iranian lawmaker said on Tuesday.

Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, said a decision to change the governing regime of the Strait of Hormuz had been made at the highest levels of the Islamic Republic in response to the latest war.

He said legislation on managing the strait would be approved by parliament at the earliest opportunity and that relevant bodies would be required to fully implement it.

The MP said Iran would pursue any action related to the Strait of Hormuz within the framework of its national interests and security.
