BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 18. On Saturday
evening, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz until the US completely
lifted the naval blockade, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
Naval Forces said, Trend reports.
The statement noted that due to the violation of the ceasefire
and the continued American naval blockade of Iranian ships and
ports, the strait will remain closed until it is lifted.
The IRGC called on shipowners to follow only the instructions of
the Iranian side, and called US President Donald Trump's statements
about the situation in the Strait of Hormuz unreliable.
