When I get a chance, I will explain why no one can reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

We, Iran, can close the Strait of Hormuz,

but even if the whole world joins together, they cannot reopen it.

Do you want to explain it right here, since you brought it up, what is the reason?

Look, the reason is that the Strait of Hormuz has a geographic position

that multiplies the capability of the forces that want to close it by ten times.

Geographically speaking,

it is sort of like,

in fact, a horseshoe.

Meaning, when a ship wants to come from here and go around and pass at the

shortest distance, then continue and exit opposite Jask,

it takes seven or eight hours.

Whereas other straits,

for example the Bab al- Mandab Strait, are a passageway.

Once you pass through there,

you are in the ocean, for example.

Or the Suez Canal, once you pass through the Suez Canal, you enter the Sea of Oman,

giving access to those who are on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea

to pass through the Suez Canal and then go into the Mediterranean Sea, those who…

If they were on the Mediterranean coast and wanted to attack that ship,

it would be impossible, it is very far away. But here there is a very long distance

that they have to cover in a ring shape and circle around to pass.

Therefore, the forces that are on the coast, meaning in Iran, around this

are actually in a horseshoe shape and can very easily close it off.
