Former U.S. diplomat Richard Haass stated on Wednesday that no single nation maintains total control over the Strait of Hormuz. His remarks, made during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, directly challenged assertions made by President Trump regarding U.S. dominance over the strategic waterway.

The Strait of Hormuz serves as a critical global shipping route for oil and gas. The disagreement highlights a broader debate regarding the extent of American military and geopolitical influence in the region versus the reality of shared or contested maritime control.
