Iran’s central military command announced on Saturday that it would reinstate “strict management” of the Strait of Hormuz, reversing an earlier move to reopen the strategic waterway as part of negotiations with Washington.

It added that until Washington restores unrestricted movement for all ships bound for Iran, “the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will remain strictly controlled.”
