Mohsen Rezaei, a military adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, said on Sunday that managing the Strait of Hormuz was Tehran’s “legal right” in order to ensure national security.
“Iran’s management of Hormuz Strait ends 50 years of insecurity in the Persian Gulf,” Iranian news agencies quoted Rezaei as saying.
