The Iranian government strongly refuted President Trump's claim that he completely controls the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian Foreign Minister dismissed President Trump's statement as 'fake news,' and the Iranian military criticized the US claim as a lie that shows 'despair and impotence.' Iran argued that the Strait of Hormuz is under its complete management and control, emphasizing that no ship can pass safely without the approval of the Iranian army. While President Trump claimed that Iran's navy and air force do not exist and that its military has collapsed, Iran rejected these claims, asserting that it has a perfect security posture.
