Iran's top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, has stated that Lebanon's security is tied to the stability of the wider West Asian region. He emphasized the need to end wars and military operations in Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria, warning that continued tension in any part of the region would have far-reaching consequences.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Rezaei also linked the opening of the Strait of Hormuz to regional peace, stating that it is connected to ending wars in the region, particularly in Lebanon and Gaza. He mentioned that Iran is preparing a list of conditions for reopening the strait, including an end to the regional war.
Rezaei reportedly agreed with Oman on a shipping corridor through the strait, with parts of the route in Omani and Iranian waters, but noted that the US would need to meet Iran's conditions for the plan to move forward.
