An Iranian official, identified as the Head of the University of Foreign Affairs and Head of the National Institute of China, has declared the Strait of Hormuz a 'trump card' in Iran's hands. He stated that after 40 days of testing military strategies, the US blockade has achieved no results in the battle with Iran. The official further claimed that European nations consider the war illegitimate, have left the US alone, and insist the strait will only be opened through a political solution, dubbing the conflict 'America's loneliest war'. The message was disseminated by the IRGC Cyber Corps.
