Iran's Revolutionary Guard Claims Strait of Hormuz Fully Closed
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has affirmed that Tehran exerts complete and decisive control over the Strait of Hormuz, considering American statements about opening the strait as lies aimed at manipulating oil prices and covering up their failures. The statement clarified that Iran is forcefully closing the strait to all ships passing through without prior coordination with them, continuing this approach until the Americans stop their violations and fulfill their committed obligations. Meanwhile, American reports suggest that Iran has lost a significant part of its control over the strait, with U.S. forces now controlling most of the passage and Iran's ability to target ships accurately declining. During the past month, only 2% of ships have been subjected to attacks, and U.S. forces have removed more than 200 objects resembling mines, including 11 actual mines. Currently, the strait is witnessing increased maritime activity between 20 and 30 tankers at night, transporting about 9 to 10 million barrels of oil, roughly half the volume before the war. This situation strengthens the Trump administration's position in negotiations with Iran.
