Iran Judiciary Chief: US Cannot Dictate Terms on Strait of Hormuz
Gholamhossein Mohseni Ajeei, the Head of the Judiciary in Iran, issued a strong statement asserting national sovereignty and military control over strategic waterways. He declared that the management and control of the Strait of Hormuz currently rest firmly in the hands of Iran's armed forces. Emphasizing the Islamic Republic's autonomy, Ajeei stated that any confrontation with what he termed the 'aggressor enemy' is managed solely by Iranian authorities. He explicitly rejected external interference, noting that the United States cannot decide for Iran or impose timelines on its actions. This rhetoric highlights ongoing tensions between Tehran and Washington, particularly regarding maritime security and regional influence. The statement serves as a defiant response to potential US pressure, reinforcing Iran's stance that it retains full authority over its territorial waters and military decisions. By linking judicial leadership with military capability, the comments underscore the unified front of the Iranian state against perceived foreign aggression, signaling that diplomatic or coercive efforts by the US will not alter Iran's strategic posture in the Persian Gulf region.
