Iran's military has resumed control of the Strait of Hormuz, citing the continuation of the U.S. blockade against the country.
According to AFP and other foreign news outlets on Tuesday, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which integrates command of Iran's armed forces, said, "Unfortunately, the United States is continuing what it calls a blockade, which is piracy."
"Control over the Strait of Hormuz has been resumed (due to the U.S. blockade)," Zolfaghari told domestic media. "The strait is under the strong control and command of the (Iranian) military."
