Iran says Hormuz opens or closes only under its command

Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said the Strait of Hormuz had been Iranian, remained Iranian, and would remain Iranian, and that it could be opened or closed only by Iran's command. IRNA published the remarks after President Trump said he might declare the strait U.S. territory.

Why this matters. The live desk has Trump's remark. This is the official Iranian reply.
