Iran claims Strait closure; U.S. denies
Iran announced early Thursday the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all ships in response to recent American strikes, while the United States denied the validity of this announcement and confirmed that maritime traffic continues normally. Iran stated that the decision applies to oil tankers and commercial ships, and any attempt to cross the strait would be met with gunfire. Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Command confirmed that navigation is ongoing and that Iranian claims are false, and Washington responded with strikes targeting Iranian sites inside Iranian territory.
