Slutsky stated the need to resolve the situation around Iran and Hormuz.

The situation around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz needs to be resolved in the near future, as blocking it is impractical. This was stated on April 30 by the head of the Liberal Democratic Party Leonid Slutsky.

"Everything largely depends on the will of the US president and the US State Department. Therefore, I hope that these colleagues will have the common sense to find a reasonable approach. And he is not at all in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. And, it seems to me, it is necessary to create a situation where neither the United States nor Tehran will block this sea artery for ships that transport both oil and liquefied gas," he is quoted as saying in the Telegram channel.
