In response to recent statements by Donald Trump regarding this strategic passage, the official emphasized that ground realities cannot be changed by media wars.

The security official stated that there is no operational and sustainable mechanism for the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz unless it is under the supervision and control of the Islamic Republic of Iran. These remarks come as Trump recently referenced shipping security in this strait.
