Iran Maintains Control of Strait of Hormuz Amid Tensions

Iran has declared it has 'strict control' over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil transport. This statement follows recent claims made by former President Donald Trump, which Tehran dismissed as false. The Strait is critical as approximately 20% of the world's oil passes through it. The situation has implications for global oil prices and shipping routes, as ongoing tensions may lead to significant market fluctuations.
