The strait is under maintenance!
The Strait of Hormuz remains at the center of the conflict between Iran and the US, with Tehran enforcing ongoing restrictions on commercial transit since the February 28 war. The Revolutionary Guards Navy reported three tankers that exploded after turning off navigation systems and using unauthorized roads. Spokesman Hussein Mohabi urged observers to judge the reality "through events happening there", and not American statements. Western analysts, including Chatham House and the IISS, recognize Hormuz as Iran's most powerful lever—more powerful than its missile arsenal—and note that military superiority alone cannot guarantee naval access.
