Iran Vows to Keep Strait of Hormuz Closed Until US War Ends
Iran has stated it will keep the Strait of Hormuz closed until the United States ends its war and meets Tehran's conditions, including the return of seized assets. This comes as US forces are on track to complete their withdrawal from Iraq by September 30, marking the end of a 23-year military presence. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) indicated a strategy to prolong the conflict until the end of President Donald Trump's term to increase pressure on the US. The US has claimed control over the Strait of Hormuz, a claim Iran has rejected.
