IRGC dismisses Trump's Hormuz statements

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has dismissed recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the Strait of Hormuz as having "no value." The IRGC issued a directive stating that vessels in the Strait of Hormuz area must follow updates received only from official sources of the Iranian naval forces. This statement directly counters Trump's earlier claim that the strait is open for traffic and that negotiations with Iran are allegedly going well. The exchange highlights the ongoing public dispute over control and messaging concerning the critical maritime chokepoint.
