Iran rejects Trumpэs claim that the US controls the Strait of Hormuz

The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), a newly created Iranian government agency responsible for maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, appeared to reject U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that the U.S. fully controls the vital waterway, writes ABC News.

“Claims and repeated posts by U.S. officials that the Strait of Hormuz is no longer blocked do not change the reality: the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked and will not be reopened until Iran’s conditions are accepted”, the PGSA wrote in a social media post Wednesday evening.
