Iran Condemns US Map Claim Over Strait of Hormuz Sovereignty
Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei condemned the United States for publishing a map depicting the Strait of Hormuz as American territory. The move has intensified regional tensions and prompted Iran to call for a new cooperation framework to replace US influence in the Persian Gulf.
The US president published a map that depicted the Strait of Hormuz as the territory of the United States, according to Tass. This claim was immediately rejected by Iran, which viewed it as an attempt to assert undue influence over a strategically vital waterway. Tehran's response was led by Mohsen Rezaei, who called for a new regional cooperation framework to replace US hegemony in the Persian Gulf. The map's publication has raised concerns about the US's geopolitical ambitions and its potential impact on regional stability.
