According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, Iranian military spokesperson Akraminia said Sunday that responsibility for managing maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz lies with Iran under the Islamabad memorandum of understanding. He said the United States was trying to impose an unauthorized shipping route in the southern part of the strait, calling it a violation of commitments made under that memorandum. Akraminia also said Washington has a long record of failing to honor international commitments and argued that the same issue exists in the current understandings reached between Iran and the U.S. He added that Iran is working with Oman on joint navigation arrangements for the strategic waterway through what he described as a peaceful and cooperative approach. Akraminia urged Washington to comply with the memorandum, respect regional stability and take into account the interests of countries in the region. He also warned that every U.S. attack on Iranian islands, coastal areas or facilities had drawn a firm response, and said the U.S. action on Saturday night was met with immediate retaliation. He added that Iran’s armed forces had continued strengthening readiness before and after the ceasefire.
