US official declares total control of Hormuz

A US official, identified as Pete Kegsbreath, has declared that the United States Navy now exercises total control over the Strait of Hormuz. He stated, "No one sails from the Strait of Hormuz to anywhere in the world without the permission of the United States Navy. The blockade is tightening by the hour." The remarks underscore the US position of absolute maritime dominance in the strategic waterway, which is central to the ongoing blockade and confrontation with Iran. This declaration comes amid heightened tensions and limited transit through the strait.
