IRGC denies direct hotline with US, as Trump warns of ceasefire violations in Strait of Hormuz

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has dismissed claims by U.S. officials about a direct communication line with the United States regarding tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, labeling them as false. This comes amid heightened tensions as President Trump warns of potential ceasefire violations in the strategically important waterway. The denial underscores the complex and often contradictory nature of international relations, especially in volatile regions like the Middle East, where direct communication lines can be seen as both a stabilizing and a provocative measure.
