Iran releases footage of Hormuz control

Iran has released live video footage asserting its control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The footage, published by a pro-Iranian media channel, appears to be a show of force amid ongoing tensions with the United States over the waterway. The US Navy has previously claimed total control of the strait as part of its blockade of Iran, creating a direct contradiction in narratives. The release serves as a propaganda counterpoint to recent US declarations and highlights the contested nature of this critical global oil chokepoint.
