Iran's navy says the ongoing US blockade of Iranian ports is a "violation of the ceasefire terms."
As a reminder, earlier this month, Iran and the US agreed to a two-week conditional ceasefire, during which they agreed that maritime traffic would be allowed through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz has been closed again by Iran today, and the Iranian navy says it will remain closed until the US blockade of Iranian ships and ports is lifted.
In its latest statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy says that statements made by Trump on the Strait of Hormuz "have no validity," it writes. BBC.
In a statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy warns that "no ship should move from its location in the Persian Gulf or the Sea of Oman."
It is said that a number of ships have passed through the strait under its management since last night, but that the waterway will be closed again until the US stops its blockade of Iranian ports.
"Approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered cooperation with the enemy and the ship that violates the attack will be targeted", she adds.
It is not clear whether the statement refers to specific comments made by the US president.
Earlier, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that Iran's leaders want to close the strait, but the US will not allow them to "blackmail us."
