Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia hopes to see the Strait of Hormuz reopen and sanctions on Iran lifted, according to state media reporting.
Putin also stressed that Russia opposes all forms of aggression and favors resolving every issue through peaceful means, framing Moscow's position as one centered on de-escalation and diplomatic resolution of regional disputes.
No further detail on current status
The available reporting does not specify the current state of the Strait of Hormuz or provide detail on why it may be closed or restricted, nor does it outline which sanctions on Iran Putin was referring to or under what circumstances they might be lifted.
The Strait of Hormuz is a key global shipping route for oil exports, and any disruption to its operation typically has significant implications for global energy markets. Putin's comments linking the strait's reopening with the lifting of sanctions suggest Russia sees the two issues as connected within the broader regional picture.
No response from Iranian officials or other regional parties was included in the available reporting.
