Iran's Army Chief Commander, Amir Hatami, stated that the Strait of Hormuz is "completely under the supervision of the army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps" and will remain closed until "enemies respect the rights of the Iranian people," according to Iran's Mehr News Agency. Hatami also claimed that three "enemy vessels" that entered the Sea of Oman were fired upon by Iran, and that traffic in the strait is currently "very, very limited." U.S. Central Command, however, stated on Thursday that the U.S. and its regional partners control the strait and commercial vessels are still transiting.
