Odaily reports that Iran has stated that Trump's claim that the Strait of Hormuz has "returned to normal" is untrue. Iran says it will maintain complete control over the strait, including shipping routes, schedules, permissions, and passage regulations, even if shipping traffic increases again. Iran also stated that no nuclear commitments were discussed and claimed that U.S. officials told them Trump's social media posts were primarily aimed at domestic media and political needs.
