Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson states that Iran determines the opening and closing of the Strait of Hormuz, not cyberspace.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei clarified that the Hormuz transit decision was a national one, not made solely by his ministry, and was based on the country's decision-making framework.
The spokesperson added specific commentary dismissing US media positions as contradictory 'media games' and advised the Iranian public to ignore them.
The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explicitly linked the statement to the IRGC Cyber Corps, stating the matter of Hormuz control "does not happen in cyberspace."
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson added that the opening and closing of the Strait of Hormuz 'does not happen in cyberspace,' directly countering the narrative of online announcements.
