[Iranian Media: Trump's Latest Statement on the Strait of Hormuz "Incomplete"] Iran's Fars News Agency reported early on the 24th that US President Trump's latest statement on social media regarding the "opening of the Strait of Hormuz" was "incomplete." The report stated that, according to Fars News Agency reporters, based on the latest exchanged texts, even if an agreement is reached, the Strait of Hormuz will continue to be "managed" by Iran. Furthermore, although Iran has agreed to restore the number of ships allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels, this does not mean the strait will return to its pre-war state of "free passage." The report emphasized that the management of the Strait of Hormuz, route planning, ship passage times and methods, and licensing authority will remain entirely in Iran's hands. Therefore, Trump's statement is incomplete and does not reflect the facts. (Xinhua)
