Ebrahim Rezaei, an Iranian lawmaker and spokesperson for the parliament’s Foreign Policy and National Security Commission, says that the “Strait of Hormuz will not return to its previous state and others have no choice but to submit to Iran’s directives”.

In a social media post on X, Rezaei said, “We unequivocally support the ever-victorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ decisive action against the American enemy and the assertion of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz will not return to its previous state, and others have no choice but to submit to Iran’s directives in the Strait.”
