Iranian authorities have categorically denied the accuracy of statements made by US leadership claiming that Tehran requested a halt to military attacks, describing such allegations as baseless and part of psychological warfare campaigns. Officials in Tehran confirmed the absence of
any agreements or understandings regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic, stressing that the armed forces remain on high alert to handle any contingencies. Iranian sources clarified that the deterrence policy will persist and that reports
of regional mediation to resume navigation in the strait are inaccurate, reaffirming their commitment to defending sovereign interests against any hostile moves.
