Iran ensures the safe passage to ships sailing through the Strait of Hormuz under a new legal regime, the Vedomosti newspaper quoted Iran’s ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali as saying on Monday.
“Iran ensures safety of passage. Based on the security measures and the legal regime of the Strait of Hormuz, ships and vessels can pass through,” Vedomosti reported Jalali as saying.
Jalali said the US and Israeli offensive on Iran failed as their declared intention was to induce a regime change and yet the Islamic Republic was more united than ever before. “We are more united than before and we have an iron will.”
He also refuted reports of Russia’s involvement in the conflict and said: “Reports that Russia has supplied intelligence to Iran are not true.”
