An Iranian military spokesman said Monday that Tehran had “full control” over the Persian Gulf, Oman’s territorial waters, and the Strait of Hormuz, and therefore had no need to lay mines in the Gulf, according to Persian-language statements circulated by Iranian media and IRGC-affiliated channels.

The statement, attributed to the spokesman of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said Iran was controlling the Strait of Hormuz “smartly and powerfully” and would use “any means” necessary to secure the area if needed. It also said “extra-regional countries” had no right to interfere.
