Iran says it controls Strait of Hormuz after weekend pause in strikes
Reuters noted that multiple state media outlets in Iran, citing an unidentified source, reported that Tehran had forced back six ships trying to go through the strait on Monday without clearance from the Middle Eastern country. “As previously announced, the traffic route in the Strait of Hormuz is the route specified by Iran, and other routes are contaminated and have no way out,” the source told the outlets, according to Reuters. On Saturday night, the U.S. and Iranian militaries did not exchange fire for the first time in almost two weeks of back-and-forth strikes sparked by alleged violations of a ceasefire agreement signed in June.
