Several Telegram channels had cited senior commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), alleging that Iran was planning to shut down the strategic waterway.
These claims were formally denied by official military sources, who emphasized that such reports are inaccurate.
Military officials reiterated that critical decisions—whether defensive or offensive—will only be communicated through official announcements and authorized sources within the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Citizens have been urged to refrain from spreading rumors and to follow credible news sources for accurate information.
