00:00The Strait of Hormuz remains blocked and Iran says it will stay that way until its conditions are met.
00:07Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority, which oversees maritime traffic through the strategic waterway,
00:13rejected U.S. claims that the strait is no longer closed.
00:17The statement came after Donald Trump said the United States has total control of the Strait of Hormuz and will
00:23keep it.
00:24Iran says the reality is very different.
00:27State television quoted by Siege Commander Hussein Tayyib saying the strait is under the Islamic Republic's management and control.
00:36The standoff comes as the two countries remain locked in conflict, with the United States imposing a blockade on Iranian
00:43ports.
00:44Trump says negotiations with Iran are underway.
00:47Tehran denies that, saying it is only discussing a possible route through Hormuz with Oman.
00:54For now, the vital artery for global oil trade remains at the centre of the confrontation.
