Iran will regulate Strait of Hormuz... part of country's new doctrine: Dr Seyed Emamiam | #shorts
Summary
Iran's security doctrine has undergone a significant transformation, emphasizing the need for collective security in the region. The assertion is that if Iran cannot ensure its own security, no other nation can be secure either. This perspective reflects a shift in strategy in response to perceived existential threats.
Iran plans to utilize its geographical, economic, military, and geopolitical advantages to counter threats and uphold its national sovereignty. The Strait of Hormuz is identified as a crucial geopolitical asset that has not been fully leveraged in the past, despite discussions surrounding its potential.
The ongoing conflict has prompted Iran to reconsider its approach, leading to a more strategic use of the Strait of Hormuz. The expectation is that Iran will maintain control over this vital passage, not through obstruction but by ensuring safety and regulation aligned with its security doctrine.
Iranian authorities assert their right to regulate maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, framing it as a legitimate exercise of sovereignty. This move is positioned as a response to external aggressions, particularly from Israel and the influence of U.S. policies.
