The announcement comes within the framework of 30 days of wara period that Araghchi classified as a “billed violation of humanitarian law” and Iran’s national sovereignty.
Still in a statement, Araghchi stated that the partial blockage and insecurity on the channel is a “direct consequence” of the military aggression led by the United States and Israel.
In a telephone conversation with the Chancellor of Greece, Giorgos Gerapetritis, Araghchi stated that Tehran has adopted measures to manage traffic on the sea routeaiming to prevent “aggressors and their partners” from using the channel for military purposes against Iranian territory.
The chancellor also issued a warning to neighboring countries that host foreign forces. “Iran will maintain defensive operations against the sources of attacks, including military bases and logistics facilities located on third-party territories in the region.”
On the Greek side, Gerapetritis expressed “deep concern” about the economic impacts and security from war, expressing the hope that regional stability will be restored soon. Greece, which has one of the largest merchant fleets in the world, is directly affected by navigation restrictions on strategic routes such as Hormuz.
