"Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya joint military command announced that the Strait of Hormuz has been restored to its previous status, now under strict management and control by the armed forces."
"The IRGC's navy command stated that as long as the movement of vessels from Iran and to Iran is under threat, the status of the Strait of Hormuz will remain unchanged."
"Iran officially closed the strait on 4 March in response to US-Israeli airstrikes, reopening it briefly before reinstating restrictions due to ongoing tensions."
Iran has reversed the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, reinstating restrictions on this crucial shipping lane. This decision follows the US's refusal to lift its blockade on Iranian ports. Reports indicate that IRGC ships fired at a tanker attempting to navigate the strait. Iran's military command stated that the strait is now under strict control, and restrictions will persist unless the US guarantees safe navigation for vessels to and from Iran. Iran's deputy foreign minister emphasized that the US cannot impose a siege on Iran.
