Breaking News: US-Iran Clash Over Strait of Hormuz Continues

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran remain high over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, with conflicting claims about its status and control. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that no vessel can pass without Iran’s approval and insisted that ground realities, not social media or U.S. statements, will determine whether the strait remains open. He also accused Donald Trump of spreading false claims and failing in both war and negotiations. Iran has reportedly set strict conditions for reopening, allowing only commercial ships, requiring approval from the IRGC, banning military vessels, and mandating passage through designated safe routes and ports. While limited commercial shipping has resumed, military movement remains restricted. The U.S. claims its naval pressure continues until a full agreement is reached, while Iran maintains its sovereignty over the passage. The situation remains uncertain as both sides issue contradictory statements, creating confusion over whether the Strait is truly open or still under strategic control amid ongoing geopolitical tension.
