  "summary": "The Iranian military has rejected US claims that vessels are transiting the Strait of Hormuz without permission, stating that the waterway remains under the full management and control of the Islamic Republic of Iran. An Iranian spokesperson told state media that no commercial vessel or oil tanker can or will have safe passage through the Strait without the permission and supervision of Iran’s powerful Armed Forces. This comes after US President Donald Trump claimed that his military maintains total control over the Strait of Hormuz, a statement Iran has firmly disputed.",
