In addition to the Parliament Speaker, official sources confirmed that the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, also accompanied the delegation (according to 301 News). The departure of these two senior officials together indicates the importance of the diplomatic move for Tehran in this strategic maritime space.

The move is perceived as an Iranian attempt to demonstrate control and presence in the Strait of Hormuz, which serves as a critical transit route for global energy.
