Iran is ready to go 'as far as necessary' in the war - The Strait of Hormuz is only closed for 'enemies'
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed that Tehran is prepared to engage in conflict with Israel and the US for as long as required, asserting that the Strait of Hormuz is only closed to its adversaries.
In a recent statement, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized the country's readiness to continue its confrontation with Israel and the United States as necessary. He clarified that Iran's unwillingness to agree to a ceasefire does not stem from a desire for war, but rather from a need to ensure that its enemies do not contemplate further aggression in the future. This statement highlights Tehran's resolve to teach a lasting lesson to adversaries regarding its capacity for defense and its determination to protect its sovereignty.
Araghchi expressed confidence that adversaries have learned a valuable lesson about the nature of Iran, describing it as a nation unafraid to defend itself. By conveying this message, the Iranian government aims to project strength and deter any potential threats from its perceived enemies. He underscored the importance of maintaining a firm stance and not yielding to external pressures that may seek to undermine Iran's position in regional conflicts.
Furthermore, he indicated that the Strait of Hormuz—an important geopolitical waterway—remains accessible to those who do not support hostile actions against Iran. Describing it as 'closed only for our enemies,' Araghchi reinforced Iran's commitment to safeguarding its interests in the region while signaling to international stakeholders that it remains open to trade and cooperation, provided there is mutual respect and no aggression against its sovereignty.
