Khatam al-Anbiya Spokesman: Any country receiving funds from Iranian assets will not be permitted to transit the Strait of Hormuz

Pars Today — The spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of the Islamic Republic of Iran has said that any company or country receiving funds from Iranian assets will not be permitted to transit the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Pars Today, citing IRNA, Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari, Spokesman for the Islamic Republic's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, responded on Tuesday to Trump's remarks about deducting compensation from Iran's frozen assets, saying: The US President, following aggressive actions and continuous efforts to destabilize the region, has announced that he will pay compensation for vessels damaged during the Imposed War against the Islamic Republic of Iran—due to insecurity caused by the US military and violations in transiting the illegal and unsafe route south of the Strait of Hormuz—from Iran's frozen assets.

The spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters emphasized: While warning the criminal US President about the consequences of this illegal action, we declare to all companies and countries that welcome Trump's proposal and use Iran's frozen assets under this pretext that, from now on, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will not permit the transit of any of their vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
