Iranian Official Declares Hormuz Strait Will Reopen, Excluding U.S.

Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Chairman, Ebrahim Azizi, announced on April 1 that the Hormuz Strait will reopen but not for the United States. According to Odaily, Azizi posted on social media platform X, stating that U.S. President Donald Trump has achieved his dream of 'regime change,' albeit in the region's maritime order. Azizi emphasized that the strait will only be accessible to countries adhering to Iran's new laws, marking the end of a 47-year era of hospitality since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, as explained by the BBC.
