Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on March 14 that the Strait of Hormuz remains open to navigation, but is restricted to ships of the United States, Israel and their allies.
"Many tankers and ships continue to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Therefore, I can say that the strait is not closed," he is quoted as saying in the Telegram channel of the Fars news agency.
The minister also noted that other countries' concerns about the safety of navigation in the region have nothing to do with Iran.
"It is closed only to American and Israeli ships and tankers, not to others," he added.
