Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said on Saturday that “control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state and this strategic strait is under strict management and control of the Armed Forces.”
He noted that Iran had earlier “agreed in good faith, following prior agreements in negotiations, to allow the managed passage of a limited number of oil tankers and commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.”
However, he said that the U.S. has continued “repeated violations of commitments” and engaged in “piracy and maritime theft under the so-called blockade.”
“Therefore, control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state,” he added.
