Seyyed Mehdi Tabatabaei, deputy for communications at the Iranian president’s office, has said Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz only after receiving compensation for war damages, paid via a “new legal regime” based on transit fees, reports Al Jazeera.
Tabatabaei also said in a social media post that Trump, who earlier today threatened to attack Iran’s civil infrastructure over the Strait’s closure, had “resorted to obscenities and nonsense out of sheer desperation and anger”.
