CAPE TOWN - Iran's Ambassador to South Africa said the Strait of Hormuz is open to us.
It's only closed to the US, Israel and their allies.
Ambassador Shakib Mehr said the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was a dangerous violation of international norms.
He said the attack by the US and Israel, which killed Khamenei and over 170 schoolchildren, directly challenged state sovereignty and international law.

Retired Judge Siraj Desai said Israel and the US have crossed the line.
Iran has been heavily criticised for bombing it's neighbours.
Mehr wants all BRICS countries to stand with Iran and help bring an end to the war.
He said anyone who thinks this war does not concern them is mistaken.
