Iran remains in control of the Strait of Hormuz despite what it describes as a US naval blockade, parliament speaker and senior negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said on Saturday.⁣ ⁣ Qalibaf warned Tehran could impose restrictions on traffic through the strategic waterway if the blockade continues. Iran had announced its temporary reopening of the Strait following a separate US-brokered 10-day ceasefire agreement on Thursday between Israel and Lebanon.⁣ ⁣ However, Iran's armed forces command said transit through the strait had reverted to a state of strict Iranian military control, citing what it described as repeated US violations and acts of “piracy” under the guise of a blockade.⁣ ⁣ The US said American forces were enforcing a maritime blockade of Iran, but did not comment on the latest Iranian actions.⁣ ⁣ #iran #us #war #hormuz #strait #blockade
