Graham calls for continued Hormuz blockade

US Senator Lindsey Graham has analyzed contradictory statements from Iranian officials regarding the Strait of Hormuz. He noted that about 24 hours ago, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian declared the straits open for full passage. However, last night, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a directive asserting its authority over all maritime traffic, contradicting the earlier statement. Graham suggests these mixed signals provide critical information for the United States to learn from in managing the ongoing crisis.
