  "summary": "Iran has dismissed US President Donald Trump's claim that he will declare the Strait of Hormuz as US territory. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said the waterway \"has been Iranian, is Iranian and will remain Iranian\".\n\nShipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely disrupted, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) centre. Over the past seven days, only 151 vessels entered or exited the strategic waterway, which is 17% of the pre-conflict average.\n\nThe UKMTO has recorded 56 reports of damage to vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and nearby waters since the US-Iran conflict began. The Southern Omani route, a temporary alternative corridor, is considered the highest-risk area.",
