Iran asserts ongoing control of the Strait of Hormuz
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi affirmed that the Strait of Hormuz "will remain Iranian." In response to U.S. President Donald Trump's statements declaring his intention to make the waterway "part of American territory," he stated that the strait "will only be opened or closed by Iran's order." He added that the Iranian regime maintains full control over the strait and that it is not opened or closed except with Iran's approval. He clarified that the understanding with Oman does not mean the complete opening of the strait, and that the current arrangement is temporary. This comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States over control of the Strait of Hormuz and vital waterways in the Gulf.
