Member of Expediency Council: Strait of Hormuz is an important bargaining card in Iran's hands

Strait of Hormuz, Iran ·

Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaei, a member of Iran's Expediency Council and the Guardian Council, made remarks about the strait. He argued it can influence the international scene and is closely tied to Iran's financial stability.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway linking the Gulf with the Arabian Sea, and much of the region's oil exports pass through it. The Expediency Council is an advisory body in Iran that arbitrates disputes between parliament and the Guardian Council.
