The spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the U.S. claim of operations for the security of the Strait of Hormuz said: Before the start of the war against Iran on March 4, 2025, the Strait of Hormuz was a safe passage, and the world community must hold the U.S. responsible for making the Strait unsafe.

Esmail Baghaei stated at a Tuesday press conference:  The U.S. must learn its lesson that it cannot speak to Iran with threats and coercion, and Iran has demonstrated that it considers itself the protector of the security of the Strait of Hormuz.

The foreign ministry spokesperson added:  The world neither accepts the U.S. claims of humanitarianism nor believes that the U.S. can escape from this self-made quagmire by repeating past mistakes.

Baghaei emphasized:  Certainly, ships and companies know that ensuring security requires coordination with the competent authorities in Iran.

America’s habit of greed and unlimited demands has no end.

Regarding the U.S. response to Iran’s proposed plan, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson said:  We received the U.S. response through Pakistan, but I will not discuss the details of the discussion.

Baghaei clarified:  America’s habit of greed and unlimited demands has no end, and we are facing a party whose positions constantly change.

He added:  The matters discussed in the media regarding details related to the nuclear program are mostly speculation, and at this stage, we are only talking about the complete ending of the war.

**Some European countries have realized that mere obedience to the U.S. is not in the interest of global security.**

Regarding Europe's role in ending the war against Iran, the spokesman for the diplomatic apparatus said:  We have always welcomed any constructive role by European countries in issues that could relate to regional security.

Baghaei further remarked:  It seems that recent experiences have at least created a sense of realism among some European parties, and they have realized that mere obedience to the U.S. is not in the interest of global security and Europe’s economic interests.

He expressed hope that European countries would adopt more responsible positions regarding the region.
