Iran’s military spokesperson says Tehran could generate “significant” economic revenue by overseeing the Strait of Hormuz, adding that such control would also strengthen Iran’s international standing. Multiple outlets report the spokesman’s statement that Iran’s oversight could produce substantial income, with one source adding that it could potentially double Iran’s oil income. The reports present the comment as an assessment of potential economic benefits rather than as an immediate change in policy. One outlet also notes that Iran has largely blocked shipping through the strait since the outbreak of war involving the United States and Israel on February 28, indicating that restrictions have been in place for some time. Overall, the coverage centers on Iran’s claim that its role in relation to the strategic waterway would bring financial gains, while other reported details focus on the current state of shipping disruption and broader geopolitical context. The statements are attributed to Iran’s military spokesman or spokesperson, and no independent verification of the projected revenues is provided in the reports.
