Any country except for US and Israel can pass through Strait of Hormuz, Iranian Foreign Minister says

Iran said Saturday that all countries besides the US and Israel may pass through the Strait of Hormuz, in a desperate attempt at coalition busting less than a day after the US bombed military targets on its oil-critical Kharg Island.

"As a matter of fact, the Strait of Hormuz is open," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.

"It is only closed to the tankers and ships belong[ing] to our enemies, to those who are attacking us and their allies. Others are free to pass," Araghchi told MS NOW.
