National Security Commission Member Warns Against Uncoordinated Actions in Strait of Hormuz

A member of parliament's National Security Commission warned again about "uncoordinated actions" in the Strait of Hormuz with tensions rising once more. Aladin Boroujerdi, a member of Iran's parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, stated that "any action in the Strait of Hormuz without coordination with Iran is doomed to failure." According to him, the decision regarding "changing the regime governing the Strait of Hormuz" has been made "at the highest levels of the system." This parliamentarian said this decision "will certainly be implemented and final." He also stated that parliament is seeking to pass "a law related to the management of the Strait of Hormuz." According to Mr. Boroujerdi, "the Islamic Republic of Iran, with complete awareness of regional developments, pursues any action related to the Strait of Hormuz within the framework of its national interests and security." These remarks came hours after Britain's Maritime Trade Operations organization announced that an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz near Oman's shores was hit by an unidentified projectile, followed by a fire.
