United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed on Friday that the US "controls the flow of global shipping" and that "no one sails from the Strait of Hormuz to anywhere in the world without the permission of the US navy." He denied that Iran has control over the Strait of Hormuz, stating that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been "reduced to a gang of pirates."
Hegseth told reporters that the US blockade of the Iranian ports is "growing and going global" as the Trump administration decided to expand the blockade to international waters. He stressed that "every ship" that meets the US criteria, including Iranian vessels and other ships going to and from Iranian ports, "has been turned around," totaling 34 since the blockade was imposed on April 13.
