Turkish Foreign Minister Calls for Return to Pre-War Status in Strait of Hormuz
Hakan Fidan says safe, uninterrupted and free passage through the strategic waterway must be guaranteed.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan called for a return to the pre-war status quo in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
Fidan said that safe, uninterrupted and free passage through the strait must be ensured, the Turkish state-run news agency reported.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman that serves as one of the world's most critical routes for global oil and gas shipments, connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
Anadolu Agency did not provide further details on the specific circumstances prompting Fidan's remarks or the venue in which they were made.
Türkiye has previously positioned itself as an advocate for regional stability and unimpeded maritime trade routes in the Gulf region.
