Summary
Citing military officials, the agency said the allegation "was nothing but a new lie" and that the Iranian armed forces were "on high alert and ready for any eventuality". "This would include the Immediate, Complete and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat," wrote Trump in a Truth Social post. Today, Iran’s Fars news agency citing a source close to Iranian negotiators said “as long as the United States maintains its hostile actions, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed”.
Furthermore, Iran has blockaded Hormuz since the start of the war, requiring vessels to obtain permission and pay transit fees before using the waterway. Yesterday, Trump said the US was “ready to go against the Islamic republic” but that Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries had asked him to hold off on fresh strikes. Trump says he will hold off on fresh Iran attack in hope of quick deal.
In addition, TEHRAN: Iran's Mehr news agency on Sunday (Aug 2) denied US President Donald Trump's claim that the Islamic republic asked the United States to refrain from conducting new strikes.
