Tehran Declares Strait of Hormuz Closed
The Iranian Hormuz Strait Management Authority confirmed that the strait remains closed and that its closure status has not changed, dismissing American statements claiming it has been opened for navigation. It clarifies that the strategic waterway will not be reopened until Iran's conditions are met, which deepens the escalation between Tehran and Washington and increases risks to global energy markets. These statements come amid ongoing mutual accusations, with U.S. President Donald Trump asserting that Iran is physically and economically incapable of resisting sanctions, describing Iran's economic situation as "collapsed." Conversely, Iran insists on its stance not to reopen the strait, reflecting an escalation that threatens shipping movements and global oil production.
