Said
Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters (Iran joint armed forces command): The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said the strait was closed as a 'first response' to the 'enemy's breach of promise' over the memorandum's first clause and Israeli attacks in Lebanon, and that 'subsequent steps will be planned and taken' if they continued.

Government of the United States: Vance told Fox News he was skeptical of reports that Iran had closed the strait, saying 16 million barrels had moved through it in the previous 24 hours, roughly pre-war levels, and 'we're not seeing any evidence that the Iranians are still closing down the Strait of Hormuz'.
