Trump reiterates US control of Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that the United States Navy has total control over the Strait of Hormuz, stating, "Right now we have it closed. We have total control of the strait." This declaration reinforces the administration's position of maintaining a naval blockade against Iran. The statement comes amid ongoing tensions and a U.S. military campaign targeting Iranian assets. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global oil chokepoint, and U.S. control over it represents a significant escalation of pressure on Tehran.
