Iran’s military to coordinate passage through Strait of Hormuz during ceasefire

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council released a statement outlining that Iran’s 10-point plan “emphasizes fundamental matters” like the “regulated passage through the Strait of Hormuz under the coordination of the Armed Forces of Iran.”

This would grant Iran a “unique economic and geopolitical standing,” the statement said.

The statement was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets.
