According to reports from Iranian media, the Iranian military spokesperson stated that due to the United States “repeatedly breaking its promises,” control over the Strait of Hormuz has been restored to its previous state, and this strait is currently under the strict management and control of the Iranian armed forces.
Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz is a strategically vital maritime chokepoint connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the wider Indian Ocean. Historically, it has been a key trade route for centuries, but in the modern era, its significance is defined by the transit of about one-fifth of the world’s oil supply. This has made it a focal point of geopolitical tensions and international security concerns for decades.
