Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian Foreign Minister, addressed the issue of the Strait of Hormuz at a conference in Baghdad. Araghchi stated that responsibility for managing shipping through the Strait rests solely with the Islamic Republic of Iran. He warned that any attempts to establish arrangements separate from those currently managed by Iran would increase regional tensions and delay the reopening of the strategic waterway.
