“No commercial vessel or oil tanker can safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s permission and control.”

Sea-news.az reports citing the SNN television channel, that this was stated by Ibrahim Zulfiqari, a representative of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Zulfiqari emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz remains under the full administration and control of the Islamic Republic, as before. He also added that the Iranian Armed Forces are monitoring the actions of the US and Israel in the region.

Recall that US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that the US has full control over the Strait of Hormuz.
