Trump claims the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz despite Iranian blockade

In a recent statement, Donald Trump claimed that the United States has total control over the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic maritime passage. This assertion comes amid rising tensions with Iran, which has imposed a blockade on its ports in response to sanctions imposed by Washington.

Trump also expressed his distrust of Iran, stating that he is the last to trust them due to the historical relations between the two countries. He emphasized the importance of this region for global maritime security and the flow of energy resources.

In reaction to this situation, Iran is demanding the lifting of sanctions and the blockade to allow for the reopening of the passage, highlighting the current geopolitical complexity in the Middle East.
