“The full resumption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is possible only if the West unblocks Iran’s foreign assets, Reuters reported, citing an Iranian official.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim attributes the statement to 'Reuters, citing an Iranian official.' While the evidence provided includes general information about the Strait of Hormuz and Iran, none of the provided evidence snippets directly quote or corroborate the specific statement: 'The full resumption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is possible only if the West unblocks Iran’s foreign assets, Reuters reported, citing an Iranian official.' The evidence is too general to confirm this specific attribution or statement.
