Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the Strait of Hormuz holds a special place in establishing peace and security around the world, according to the Mehr News Agency.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman that serves as one of the world's most important routes for the transport of crude oil and natural gas. A significant share of global seaborne oil shipments passes through the strait each day, making it a frequent focus of regional and international security discussions.
Mehr News reported the remarks from Tehran but did not provide further detail on the specific context, audience, or occasion of Pezeshkian's statement.
Iranian officials have historically emphasized the strategic significance of the strait, given the country's location along its northern shore and its role in the broader security dynamics of the Persian Gulf region.
No additional details on accompanying policy announcements were included in the report.
