Iran’s parliament speaker said in a televised interview on Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz is under the control of the Islamic Republic, and transit through the waterway will remain restricted unless the US ends the blockade of Iranian ports.
Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said efforts by the United States to conduct mine-clearing operations in the waterway constitute a “violation of the ceasefire.”
He said Iran had warned the US delegation in Islamabad that if their mine-sweeper “moves even slightly forward,” it would be targeted.
