Iran adviser says Hormuz 'more important' than nuclear bombs An adviser to Iran's supreme leader has said that the Strait of Hormuz was more important than "dozens of atomic bombs". "This strategic passage is more important than dozens of atomic bombs, and the Islamic Republic of Iran will protect it," Mohsen Rezaee was quoted by the ISNA news agency as saying. “Hormuz acts as a strategic deterrent and Iran will protect the country’s interests and security by relying on its defence capabilities and national strength,” Rezaee also added, according to Tasnim news agency.
