Iran's state broadcaster reported Tuesday that Tehran's control over the Strait of Hormuz remains firmly in place.
"Iran's control within the Strait of Hormuz is being maintained without any disruption, from the southern entry zone of Hormuz Island to the southern exit zone of Larak Island," the broadcaster said.
IRIB highlighted that "following the passage of vessels from East Asian countries such as China, Japan and Pakistan through the waters, news has come today that European countries have also begun negotiations with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy."
The broadcaster did not specify which European countries had begun negotiations with the IRGC Navy over passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
IRIB also said that "crude oil that had been loaded and was at risk of being plundered has all been recovered and sold."
