On April 5, Mahdi Tabatabai, the deputy director of news and communications at the Iranian presidential office, made a stern statement regarding the regional situation and the passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Tabatabai fiercely criticized U.S. President Trump and his policies on social media, accusing him of resorting to insults out of ‘desperation and anger,’ and claimed that his reckless actions have triggered a full-scale war in the region. Regarding the control of the Strait of Hormuz, Tabatabai stated that the strait would only be fully reopened after a new legal framework is established and past shipping tax revenues are used to compensate Iran for all losses incurred during previous wars.
