Iran’s official news agency Mizan posted on its telegram channel a video on Monday showing vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Associated Press based on the audio heard in the video, it was filmed on Monday in the northern part of the Strait of Hormuz. The speaker added in the video that Iran remains in control of the Strait of Hormuz and that ships cannot pass through without the approval of the Iranian armed forces. Iran continues to assert its grip on the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. continues its blockade of Iranian ports, with shipments of oil, natural gas and fertilizer affected and the global economy in pain.
