Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson has responded to criticism over a tweet by senior diplomat Abbas Araghchi regarding the Strait of Hormuz. He stated the ministry does not act independently and all major decisions are made in coordination with relevant state authorities. The spokesperson clarified that Araghchi's tweet was part of an understanding reached following the Lebanon ceasefire announcement. According to the ministry, Iran was set to fulfill prior commitments regarding the strait, which was not a new deal but the implementation of an earlier agreement delayed by ceasefire violations and unmet U.S. commitments.
