At that point, a top Iranian lawmaker said they will be prepared to cede sovereignty of the Strait of Hormuz. Former Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commander Ebrahim Azizi tells the BBC in Tehran, “It’s our inalienable right.” “The right of passage, including authorization for ships to cross the Strait, will be decided by Iran.
And he claims that will soon be codified into law. This member of parliament who leads the Committee for National Security and Foreign Policy states, “We are introducing a bill in parliament, based on article 110 of the constitution, which includes the environment, maritime safety, and national security. The armed forces will implement the law.”
It’s becoming increasingly obvious that this is a long-term issue that won’t be fixed overnight as concerns about the shutdown of this vital waterway generating increasing economic shocks globally develop. Azizi referred to this extremely crucial strait as “one of our assets to face the enemy” and said that war has given Tehran a new weapon.
In a parliament where hardliners predominate, he plays a crucial role. After a string of high-level assassinations in Israeli strikes, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and other hardliners have taken control of the new order that emerged from this war. Azizi also reflects the thinking of some of the senior decision-makers in this new order.
