BlockBeats News, August 13th, according to Iran's Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, a spokesman for the Iranian Joint Chiefs of Staff stated: "Without authorization, no ship can safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Any vessel passing through the Strait of Hormuz must obtain Iran's permission as Iran fully controls the strait. The Iranian military is monitoring the U.S. presence in the region, and Trump's claim of controlling the strait is a lie."
