Iranian military spokesperson asserts the army is stronger and more confident than at the start of the war, and that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until unspecified demands are met. This is a continuation of existing conflict rhetoric, but the explicit threat to keep the strait closed signals potential escalation in economic warfare. The claim is unverified and likely propagandistic, but the strategic implication for global oil transit is significant.
