"As of today, who controls the strait of Hormuz? LEAVITT: Again, these statements were put out 12 hours ago. We expect that the strait will be opened immediately, as I've said earlier."
"We have seen an uptick in traffic in the strait, and it's something that we are monitoring minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, as the days go on."
During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sidestepped a direct question regarding control of the Strait of Hormuz. NPR's Mara Liasson inquired about a statement from Iran indicating that vessel passage would be coordinated by its armed forces following a ceasefire agreement with the U.S. Leavitt acknowledged the statements but did not clarify control of the strait, emphasizing expectations for its immediate opening and ongoing monitoring of traffic in the area.
