Pezeshkian: Any threat Strait of Hormuz will have broad global consequences

Pars Today – Iran’s president said that Tehran has always sought to ensure sustainable security for the passage of ships through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

According to Pars Today, during a telephone conversation between Masoud Pezeshkian, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Emmanuel Macron, President of France, the latest regional developments, the progress of the Islamabad negotiations, and the issue of a ceasefire were discussed.

During the conversation, Pezeshkian noted that Iran has consistently aimed to maintain stable security for maritime traffic in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. He stated that any threat to the security of this region would have wide‑ranging consequences for global trade.

Referring to the course of the negotiations held in Islamabad, Pakistan, Pezeshkian emphasized the seriousness and goodwill of the Iranian negotiating team in seeking a sustainable agreement. He said that despite expert‑level understandings reached between the parties, excessive demands and a lack of political will among senior U.S. officials have prevented the finalization of an agreement.

Pezeshkian also stressed the importance of adhering to international principles and rules, stating that the Islamic Republic of Iran is prepared to continue dialogue only within the framework of international laws and regulations and with the aim of safeguarding the rights of the Iranian people. He added that Europe could play a constructive role by encouraging the United States to respect these frameworks.
