Former Iranian economy minister calls for Iranian control over Strait of Hormuz
ReutersJun 18, 2025 8:04 AM
DUBAI, June 18 (Reuters) - Former Iranian Economy Minister Ehsan Khandouzi has said that tankers and LNG cargoes should only transit the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian permission and this policy should be carried out "tomorrow for a hundred days".
It was not immediately clear whether Khandouzi was echoing the establishment's decision or sharing his personal opinion.
"This policy is decisive if implemented on time. Any delay in carrying it out means prolonging war inside the country," Khandouzi posted on X on Tuesday.
Iran's Oil Ministry and Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
