As concerns rise over the possibility of renewed U.S. military action against Iran, the Iranian government has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining its existing policies, even in the event of further military conflict. The management of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial oil shipping route, will also not revert to past practices.
On October 25, Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, met with diplomats in Tehran and stated, "Our policy remains unchanged whether war occurs or not." He acknowledged the recent discussions surrounding the potential for a new conflict but emphasized that Iran is already considering the post-war scenario.
Araghchi argued that since the U.S. has already experienced the outcomes of two previous wars, any additional attacks would not yield different results. He also indicated that the management of maritime routes through the Strait of Hormuz will differ from previous approaches, asserting, "The maritime routes and management of the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be the same as in the past."
These remarks come as President Donald Trump has mentioned the possibility of further military operations against Iran ahead of the upcoming U.S. midterm elections on November 3. Although Trump stated he would not attack Iran before the elections, he made comments during a rally in Fort Myers, Florida, on October 23 that raised concerns about potential military actions.
