Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has clarified the context of a tweet by senior diplomat Abbas Araghchi regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Baghaei stated that the Foreign Ministry does not act without coordination with higher-level institutions and that Araghchi's tweet was part of an existing understanding, not a new policy. He explained the tweet was a confirmation that Iran intends to fulfill its obligations in the strait, an understanding that had not been fully executed due to a ceasefire violation in Lebanon and the U.S. failing to meet its own obligations. The statement underscores the coordinated nature of Iranian foreign policy messaging.
