PANews reported on April 19, citing the Wall Street Journal, that Iran has quickly changed its stance regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, exposing the growing divide between the country's political leadership and its military hardliners. Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian announced on Friday that the Strait of Hormuz would be "completely open." However, this statement sparked a strong backlash within Tehran. An audio recording obtained by the newspaper revealed a person claiming to be a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy stating over maritime radio that the strait remains closed and vessels must obtain permission to pass. "We will open the strait according to our leader's orders, rather than believing in some childish tweets." A crew member indicated that other vessels were responding to this warning. Around the same time, the Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard, also criticized the Foreign Minister for announcing this policy on social media. The agency stated: "The Foreign Ministry should reconsider this way of communication." Senior hardline lawmaker Morteza Mahboubi called for the removal of Amir-Abdollahian, stating that his declaration led to a drop in oil prices and delivered a great gift to the United States.
