Iran claims Hormuz traffic 'resumes'

Iranian state media outlet Ruptly has released video footage claiming a surge of tanker traffic is now moving through the Strait of Hormuz. The report asserts the strategic waterway is returning to its 'previous state' of normalcy, directly contradicting widespread reports of a US naval blockade and Iran's own recent closure announcements. This narrative frames the continued US military presence as a 'violation' while presenting an image of resumed Iranian control and defiance.
