The Iranian authority responsible for controlling the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf has categorically rejected claims by US officials that the waterway has been reopened.
“Claims and repeated posts by US officials that the Strait of Hormuz is no longer blocked do not change the reality,” the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) said in a post on X on Wednesday, Iran’s English-language Press TV reports.
“The Strait of Hormuz remains blocked and will not be reopened until Iran’s conditions are accepted,” it added.
