The waterway has ‘returned to its previous state’, Chinese news agency reports
Control of the Strait of Hormuz has “returned to its previous state”, Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported on Saturday, citing Tehran’s Fars News Agency.
“Control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state ... under strict management and control of the armed forces,” the report said.
The reversal came just hours after Iran declared it would allow non-military vessels to pass the strategic waterway for the duration of a ceasefire.
Earlier, Iran had threatened to close the strait again if US blockade remained in place.
