Iran has not closed the Strait of Hormuz, local media reported on Thursday, citing a military official.
“We have not closed the Strait of Hormuz, and we deal with passing ships there according to international protocols,” Deputy Commander of Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters Kiumars Heidari told Iran’s state-run IRIB TV.
“We have resolved that unless we break America’s horn and leave it disappointed and despairing, we will not abandon this war,” said Heidari.
“It doesn’t matter to us how many days this war lasts,” he said. “We will end this war when we have achieved our objectives.”
