A military source, speaking to Fars News Agency, stated: "As long as the United States continues its hostile actions, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will not change, and no permits will be issued for vessels to pass through this strategic waterway."

• "Full control of the Strait of Hormuz is in the hands of the Iranian armed forces. Any decision regarding the reopening or continuation of restrictions on this waterway will be made solely based on security considerations and national interests. Until the threats and hostile actions of the United States continue, there will be no change in this situation."
• "Responsibility for any disruption to maritime security and its consequences lies with those parties that have jeopardized the region's security through military actions and provocative policies."
