Iranian lawmaker and member of Parliament’s Presiding Board Alireza Salimi said the Strait of Hormuz is a more valuable strategic asset for Iran than a nuclear bomb and could be used as leverage over sanctions and compensation claims.
Speaking to the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA), Salimi described the waterway as “a blessing that God has placed in Iran’s hands.” He argued that recent US actions had created an opportunity for Tehran to make greater use of its control over the strategic passage.
“With the Strait of Hormuz, we can resolve the issues of sanctions and compensation and retaliate,” Salimi said.
His remarks underscore the importance Tehran places on the Strait of Hormuz as a potential economic and strategic tool amid continuing tensions with the United States.
