Iran Reasserts Control Over Strait of Hormuz Amid US Claims

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, CENTCOM has claimed that U.S. forces are continuing efforts to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for commercial shipping while simultaneously enforcing a naval blockade against Iran.

CENTCOM also alleged that Washington is seeking to prevent the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from utilizing land routes and the Caspian Sea for the transfer of advanced weaponry.

These claims by CENTCOM emerge as the management and control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz are firmly in the hands of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Based on Iran’s declared positions, the passage of vessels is governed by the rules and regulations set by Tehran.

Consequently, vessels that attempt to transit in violation of the declared regulations, using unauthorized routes or heading to prohibited destinations, will face actions from Iran’s armed forces. If ships enter mined areas or disregard military warnings, they risk being targeted or encountering naval mine explosions.
