Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz again, according to Tehran’s Fars News Agency.
“Control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state, and this strategic strait is under the strict management and control of Iran’s Armed Forces,” an Iranian spokesman was quoted as saying.

However, the United States had continued to “engage in banditry and maritime piracy under the guise of a so-called blockade”, the spokesman said.
He added that the Strait of Hormuz would remain “tightly controlled” until the US agreed to complete freedom of navigation for vessels passing through the waterway.

An hour after the reversal was announced, Tasnim News Agency reported that Tehran had not agreed to a second round of talks with Washington, dismissing earlier reports that more negotiations were scheduled for the coming days.
