On October 7, local time, the US military central command said that earlier in the day, a general from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran claimed “the Strait of Hormuz has been closed” and that the country has “complete control” over the strait. This statement is untrue. The US military central command said that currently, traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is smooth, and all kinds of commercial goods and energy supplies are being transported through here. The US and its regional partners clearly control the strait.
