Iran’s central military command said it will reinstate “strict control” over the Strait of Hormuz on April 18, reversing an earlier move to ease restrictions during talks with Washington.
In a statement broadcast on state TV, officials accused the US of violating commitments by maintaining a naval blockade on vessels traveling to and from Iranian ports.
They added that conditions in the strategic waterway will remain tightly controlled unless freedom of navigation for ships linked to Iran is fully restored.
