Iran has said it will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz despite pressure from Donald Trump. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the strait is under its “full and decisive control”. It called Trump’s statements “ridiculous displays”. Trump had said the US may consider a ceasefire if the strait is “open, free, and clear”. Iran denied seeking any ceasefire. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said, “No proposal was made.” He added that Iran will continue the conflict until its demands are met. Iran also said only regional countries will decide the strait’s future. Tensions remain high.
