Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency, citing a military source, reports that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed as long as aggressive US actions continue, Al Jazeera reports.
The source told Fars that Tehran would not grant permission for any vessels to pass through the strategic waterway.
“The Strait of Hormuz is in full control of the Iranian armed forces,” the source was quoted as saying.
“Any decision to reopen or continue restrictions on this passageway will be made solely based on security considerations and national interests, and this situation will not change as long as US threats and hostile actions continue.”
