The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement today: "Following false statements made by the corrupt U.S. president this morning regarding navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, three cargo vessels of different nationalities entered the designated navigation channel for vessels authorized to pass through. The IRGC Navy has issued warnings and escorted them away."
The IRGC Navy declared that the Strait of Hormuz is now closed, and any navigation activities within the strait will be met with severe responses. It prohibits all vessels from traveling to and from ports of Zionist (Zionist) entities and U.S. hostile allies or supporters, regardless of route or destination, and such passage is strictly forbidden."
Commentary: Trump has repeatedly made false statements on issues including negotiation progress, so-called 'grand gestures,' strait navigation, and ultimatums, deliberately creating an illusion of control. In response, the IRGC swiftly countered with strong actions—escorting ships, declaring the strait closed, and imposing targeted navigation bans—directly exposing these falsehoods. This not only delivers a public rebuke to U.S. disinformation but also escalates the U.S.-Iran confrontation from rhetorical contestation to tangible confrontation over maritime blockades.
