Iran has set a new condition for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, tying it directly to Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu leaving power. 🇮🇷
Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, political adviser to Iran's supreme leader, said Iranian forces will not reopen the strategic waterway until both leaders are removed from office, describing it as the first stage of what he called the Iranian people's response to recent losses.
The statement came during events marking 200 consecutive days of nightly demonstrations across Iran, part of ongoing unrest tied to the broader w4r involving the US and Israel that began earlier this year.
Maritime traffic through Hormuz remains sharply reduced. According to Reuters, only four cargo vessels crossed the strait on September 17, compared with a recent average of around sixteen ships. 🇺🇸 🇮🇱
Hormuz is one of the world's most critical energy corridors, previously carrying roughly a fifth of global oil and gas shipments. Its reopening has become a central flashpoint in the ongoing standoff between Iran, the United States, and Israel, with no resolution currently in sight.
