A White House official informed Al Jazeera that no negotiations or discussions are currently underway with Iran, and no such plans exist.
The White House official, without referencing reports from all entities monitoring maritime traffic and dismissing them as delusional, claimed that a naval blockade, specifically near Iranian ports, is being implemented with “resolute and effective” measures. The official also asserted that the Strait of Hormuz remains open and that mines have been cleared.
This assertion by the American official comes despite reports from all organizations involved in monitoring shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz indicating its closure.
