STRAIT OF IRAN IS OPEN!!

In reaction to Trump’s maritime blockade against Iran, we warned the world that Iran would not respond in words, but in action.

First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref has described Donald Trump’s policies as a “blend of delusion and contradictory rhetoric”, saying Iran’s authority will not be tarnished by “ravings.”

“Breaking the so-called maritime blockade and the two- to threefold surge in oil exports over this period are signs of Iran’s decisive victory,” he said.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said in a statement hat as long as the enemy intends to disrupt the passage of vessels and employ methods such as a maritime blockade, the Islamic Republic of Iran will consider that a violation of the ceasefire and will refrain from opening the Strait of Hormuz except under our sole authority.
 
Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said on Saturday that “control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state and this strategic strait is under strict management and control of the Armed Forces.”

He noted that Iran had earlier “agreed in good faith, following prior agreements in negotiations, to allow the managed passage of a limited number of oil tankers and commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.”

However, he said that the United States has continued “repeated breaches of commitments” and engaged in “piracy and maritime theft under the so-called blockade.”

“Therefore, control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state,” he added.

Separately, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Naval Force said in a statement that a “new order” now governs the strait.

It stated that “non-military vessels only transit through the route designated by Iran,” while “the passage of military vessels through the strait remains prohibited.”

It added that all movements require authorization and are being conducted within the framework of a ceasefire period following developments in Lebanon.
