Iran Claims It Has “Complete Control” Over Strait of Hormuz
By Charles Kennedy - Mar 04, 2026, 7:46 AM CST

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared it has “complete control” of the strategic waterway, with fresh attacks on commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz overnight intensifying fears that the escalating U.S.-Israeli war with Iran could further disrupt one of the world’s most critical energy corridors, Al-Jazeera reported.

Iranian state media carried comments from an IRGC naval official on Wednesday asserting that the Islamic Republic now controls the strait, a narrow shipping lane between Iran and Oman through which roughly a fifth of global oil supply normally passes. The statement follows warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump to the effect that Washington could deploy naval escorts for tankers if the security situation deteriorates.

The remarks come as maritime security agencies report new attacks on commercial ships operating near the Gulf’s key shipping routes.

In the first incident, a vessel traveling about 137 nautical miles east of Muscat reported a nearby explosion late Tuesday, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). The ship continued sailing and no injuries or major damage were reported.

I knew it!  Baghdad Bob is lurking in the background.  Only he, or a clone, would make that claim after the whole Iranian Navy has been destroyed. *****rollingeyes*****

Are they controlling with their ships that are underwater?

I don't know about screen doors, but they are well perforated.
