Trump: US has full control of the Strait of Hormuz
And Iran can do nothing about it, the White House leader said.
According to Trump, the US has full control of the Strait of Hormuz.
US President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social page that the US Armed Forces will retain control of the Strait of Hormuz.
The politician said: "The US has full control of the Strait of Hormuz. I think we will retain this control. Our naval blockade is called a "steel wall" by everyone, and Iran can do nothing against it."
At the same time, on August 11, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Mohsen Rezaei, stated that the United States must change its behavior and accept Iran's conditions, otherwise Hormuz will remain closed. According to him, the US has started an illegal war that endangers the entire region.
The United States re-imposed a blockade of Iranian ports in July. On August 8, Vice President Jay Dee Vance announced some progress in talks with Tehran to resolve the standoff. Reuters reported that Iran had agreed not to charge for passage through the corridor, but had apparently gained control over ships entering it.
