The Iranian security official, in response to recent statements by Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, who referred to controlling the Strait of Hormuz and claimed significant damages that Iran has suffered, emphasized that "field realities will not change through media rhetoric." These remarks were made as tensions between Iran and the United States have reached a peak in recent years.
