The Iranian military has stated that the Strait of Hormuz has reverted to "strict control", citing the continued U.S. naval blockade. This comes one day after Iran declared the waterway completely open. The country's Khatam al-Anbiya military command headquarters stated that control over the strategic waterway has returned to its previous state and will remain under strict control until the United States allows full freedom of navigation for vessels traveling from Iran to the other side.
