The Strait of Hormuz remains open to all shipping ​except vessels linked to “Iran’s enemies”, Iranian media reports ‌published on Sunday quoted Iran’s representative to the U.N. maritime agency as saying.

Ali Mousavi’s comments came from an interview ​published on Friday by Chinese news agency Xinhua, ​before U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to target ⁠Iranian power plants if the strait was not “fully ​open” within 48 hours.

The threat of Iranian attacks during ​the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has kept most ships from getting through the narrow strait, the conduit for around a fifth ​of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies, ​threatening a global energy shock.
