Hormuz ‘won’t stay open’ if US blockade continues: Iranian spokesman

The spokesman for the Iranian delegation, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibof, said that Hormuz ‘won’t stay open’ if the US blockade continues. He added that whether the Strait of Hormuz will be open or closed and what its rules will be will be determined “not by a social media post, but on the battlefield.”
He wrote that passage through the Strait of Hormuz would be conducted according to a “designated route” and “subject to the approval of the RRGC.”
