Iran Claims Control of Hormuz Despite US Claims

Iranian state media reported that the United States made claims about the Hormuz Strait that did not align with the actual situation at sea. Tehran emphasized its continued control of the strait, which is critical for global oil shipments. The U.S. position, as described by the same sources, was that its claims about the strait's status were at odds with the reality observed at sea. The divergence in narratives underscores the ongoing strategic competition between the two nations in the region.
