Iran Asserts Control Over Strait of Hormuz, Rejects US Claims

The spokesperson of Khatam al-Anbiya Command, the joint headquarters of the Iranian army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has stated that no ship can safely cross the Strait of Hormuz without Iran's authorization and control. This statement comes in response to false claims by the United States that ships regularly cross the strait, indicating the impotence and difficulties of the American army. Iran has repeatedly stressed its control over the strait and has warned that any threat will be met with a decisive response.
