Galibadi: The Strait of Hormuz is completely closed, and transit vessels must obtain permission from Iran

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Babadi stated that the Strait of Hormuz is completely closed and no vessel can pass through without Iran's coordination. Galibadi stated that the Iranian armed forces have control over the movement of the Strait of Hormuz, and the claim by the United States that ships pass through the strait is not true. Galibadi stated that Iran and Oman have reached a consensus on travel arrangements, but the strait will not be opened until the United States fulfills its commitments. Galibadi stated that Iran continues to take defensive actions and is prepared for any scenario.
