[Iranian Military: US Actions Will Not Lead to the Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz] On the 16th local time, Iranian military spokesman Mohammad Akraminia stated that strategic control of the Strait of Hormuz has become a nationwide demand in Iran, and the Iranian armed forces will not compromise on this issue. Akraminia stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States accepts Iran's management mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz. He said that the US's "hostile actions" will not lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The US's compliance with the signed memorandum of understanding and cessation of related actions are prerequisites for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Akraminia also stated that Iran has no intention of engaging in conflict with its neighbors, but will not accept its neighbors providing US military bases and allowing them to use these bases to launch attacks against Iran.
