Ebrahim Azizi, head of Iran’s parliamentary National Security Committee, stated that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen but not for the United States. He said it will remain accessible only to those who follow Iran’s new regulations. Azizi made the remarks addressing U.S. President Donald Trump, emphasizing that the 47 years of hospitality since the 1979 revolution have now permanently ended.

Azizi further commented that Trump has ultimately achieved his dream of changing Iran’s governance system, though this change has only affected the region’s maritime order. Meanwhile, Iran’s National Security Committee has approved a plan to impose tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Fars News Agency.

The announcement underscores Iran’s intent to assert control over one of the world’s most strategic waterways, linking its domestic policy shifts to regional maritime operations.
