The United States and Iran claim to control the Strait of Hormuz while traffic remains reduced
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported34m ago
Both the United States and Iran have claimed control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz amid reduced maritime traffic in the area. On Thursday, the newly appointed head of the Iranian paramilitary unit Basij and the Iranian military asserted that Tehran maintains full control and management of the strait, dismissing claims by US President Donald Trump as falsehoods.
The verbal dispute follows statements made a day earlier by President Donald Trump, who asserted that the United States maintained total control over the crucial waterway. Meanwhile, unrelated market reports indicate that Argentine stocks and bonds rebounded following a favorable trading session on Wall Street, where the S&P 500 reached a record high above 7,800 points.
