On Sept. 1 Iranian parliament speaker Ghalibaf said Iran will not permit US attempts to breach a memorandum of understanding by sending ships through the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz. He said pre-conflict traffic was at least 120 vessels per day and current transits are far lower. Ghalibaf said the strait is under full Iranian military control and that US efforts to send a small number of ships were met with Iranian resistance. He accused the US of falsely claiming vessels could pass while ships were being attacked, and said Iran has demonstrated battlefield control and that adversaries cannot stop its missiles; Iran will hold qualitative and quantitative superiority in the next phase.
