Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on March 18 that a new international mechanism should be created to govern transit through the Strait of Hormuz once the current conflict ends.
In an interview with Al Jazeera’s “Talk to Al Jazeera,” released the same day, Araghchi said countries bordering the waterway should negotiate a protocol guaranteeing secure shipping under specific conditions.
“In my view, after the war, a new mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz should be designed so ships can pass safely under clear regulations that consider the interests of Iran and the region,” Araghchi said.
