Iran: Tehran claims to retain control of the Strait of Hormuz

This contradicts what Trump said yesterday

(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - A senior Iranian official has stated that the Strait of Hormuz remains under Iran’s control, after US President Donald Trump claimed yesterday that it was the United States that controlled the strategic waterway. “It is clear today that the Strait of Hormuz is under the management and control of the Islamic Republic and that our country is continuing on its course in complete safety,” said Hossein Taeb, commander of the Basij paramilitary forces, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, according to state television reports.
