Iran's top joint military command announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, including oil tankers and commercial ships, saying any vessel that will attempt passage will be shot at, according to Reuters.
It is worth mentioning that, US President Donald Trump stated that the United States, not Iran, controls the Strait of Hormuz.
Earlier, Trump had stated that the United States "hit Iran hard yesterday," adding that it "will continue the strikes today."
According to the report, Trump emphasized that his country will not back down from its operations, signaling a continued escalation with Iran, without providing additional details regarding the nature or timing of the attacks.
