War in the Middle East: Shipping is still impossible in the Strait of Hormuz, says Iran

The article reports conflicting claims regarding the status of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military asserts that commercial shipping remains unrestricted, stating that Iran does not control the passage and that thousands of vessels have passed through the international waterway over the past four months. In contrast, Iranian authorities claim that maritime traffic is still impossible in the strait. The article presents both perspectives without explicitly endorsing either side.
