I just watched the Iranian foreign minister respond to the US

propaganda. Was on AlJazeera.
Hopefully Western media will cover it.
To paraphrase, the Strait of Hormuz is not closed - it is closed to the Zionists and the US. It is under the control of the Iranian armed forces.
He also said that Iran is attacking US military bases but that civilian locations in Arab countries were attacked by the US and the Zionists.
Also said there are delivering retaliatory strikes. He never used the word Israel.
Said there will be no ceasefire.
That was a wide ranging news conference. He also spoke about the war in Ukraine.
