The United States declared Iran's full control over the Strait of Hormuz

Iran has full control over the entire Strait of Hormuz, which opens and closes whenever it wants. This was announced on July 29 by former member of the U.S. House of Representatives Marjorie Taylor-Green.

"Iran has proven the following: they control the Strait of Hormuz. And they can open or close it whenever they want," she said in an interview with TASS.

The former congresswoman said that the current situation testifies to the victory of Tehran in the war declared by Washington and Tel Aviv in February this year. According to her, the position now occupied by the Islamic Republic has affected the reputation of the White House.

Taylor-Green stressed that American leader Donald Trump had "clearly lost" in this conflict, and his country had shown weakness.

Counter risk: Iran may block the Strait of Hormuz again

The fragile agreements between Washington and Tehran are on the verge due to Israel's tough stance.

Three days earlier, Trump pointed to the ceasefire regime violated by Iran, which the parties agreed to observe. However, he refrained from answering about Washington's potential reaction to the incident. Some time later, on June 28, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, Abbas Araqchi, urged not to interfere in the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. According to him, attempts to carry out some kind of parallel settlement activities there will lead to another escalation.

On June 26, Bloomberg learned that European countries may be charged a fee for using the Strait of Hormuz. Oman informed the Western states about this at that time. According to his plan, the fee will be charged for services related to navigation and cleaning of this water area.
