Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Sunday that his country does not currently aim to seal off the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking exclusively to Al Jazeera, the diplomat stressed that authorities in Tehran have no intention of taking measures that would impede maritime movement through the strategic corridor "at this moment."
The waterway serves as a crucial conduit for approximately 20% of global oil shipments. Any interference would have serious consequences for worldwide energy supplies.
Earlier Sunday, the Palau-flagged tanker Skylight came under attack near Khasab port along the strait, according to Omani authorities. Four crew members sustained injuries, and all 20 personnel aboard were safely evacuated.
