Iranian state media casts doubt on Trump’s claim of strait reopening

Iranian state media has expressed skepticism about US President Donald Trump's assertion that the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened 'soon.' The strait, a vital shipping route for global oil, is currently closed due to tensions between Iran and the United States. State broadcaster IRIB stated that any agreement between Iran and Oman, which both border the strait, does not directly relate to the immediate reopening of the waterway. Iranian officials emphasized that the strait will not return to its pre-war status under any circumstances, rejecting US influence over regional security arrangements.
