IRGC Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Ozmaei says Iran maintains complete control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite US efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has maintained control, demanding six conditions be met by the US before negotiations can progress. These include ending aggression, lifting sanctions, and compensating Iran for damages.

A senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution says Iran's strategy of shifting to an offensive approach if its conditions are not met would fundamentally alter the global balance of power.

The spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters says no vessel can safely transit the strategic waterway without authorization and supervision by Iran.

Six months into Trump's war on Iran, Washington still has not achieved its goals.

Iran’s top security official tells the Chinese ambassador in Tehran that the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened only when the US accepts Iran’s conditions.

Amid rising tensions in West Asia, the Strait of Hormuz has become the center of a dangerous geopolitical confrontation.
