Tehran: Iran&#8217;s foreign minister, Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, lashed out at US President Donald Trump for asserting that the US maintains &#8220;full control&#8221; over the Strait of Hormuz.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Araghchi took to social media X to warn the US not to &#8220;misjudge&#8221; the Strait of Hormuz based on &#8220;fake intelligence&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Trump claimed on social media that the US maintains &#8220;full control&#8221; of the Strait of Hormuz.&#8221;The U. S. has long misjudged intelligence gaps,&#8221; Araghchi said.<\/p>\n<p>An example of this is the war on Iran. Now, there may be an even bigger miscalculation of the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Iran&#8217;s Persian Gulf Strait Authority, which manages maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, has said it will not change repeated claims that the Strait of Hormuz is no longer blocked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Strait of Hormuz is still blocked and will not be reopened until Iran&#8217;s conditions are met,&#8221; the agency said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No commercial vessel or oil tanker has been able to safely cross the Strait of Hormuz without the permission and supervision of Iran&#8217;s armed forces,&#8221; the central headquarters of Iran&#8217; s main military commander, Khatam al-Anbiya, said on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p> In a video message broadcast by Iranian media, Iranian media spokesman Ibrahim Zolfaghari said Iran was in full control and control of the Strait of Hormuz as in the past.<\/p>\n<p>He dismissed as &#8220;false and blatantly false&#8221; the US claim that ships were moving normally through Hormuz. <\/p>\n<p> He said the &#8220;false&#8221; claims on the US side were a sign that his forces were &#8220;desperate and helpless&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, he said US leaders and the military had thoroughly tested the &#8220;strength and resistance&#8221; of Iran&#8217;s armed forces. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Iran&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>s armed forces are monitoring all U. S. and Israeli activities in the region and will not hesitate to respond to threats to the rights of the Iranian people, national sovereignty and national aspirations,&#8221; Zolfaghari said. <\/p>\n<p> Iran tightened its control over the Strait of Hormuz on February 28.<\/p>\n<p>In the aftermath of a joint U. S. and Israeli invasion of Iranian territory, Israel and U. S.-affiliated ships were barred from crossing safely.
