Iran’s Ghalibaf: The United States is trying to get a few ships through the strait like thieves and smugglers, but it is being confronted by our Armed Forces. Our Armed Forces have full control of the Strait of Hormuz. If the strait is under U.S. control, why do they feel the need to repeat that claim every day and attack our islands? The Americans falsely assure ships that they can safely pass through the strait, but those ships are then struck.
