Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported58m ago
On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump stated on his Truth Social platform that the United States maintains total control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz and will "keep it," describing the ongoing US naval blockade as "a wall of steel."
According to reports citing an interview with Axios, President Trump also indicated that the US is prepared to focus on blockading Iranian ports using a strategy he described as "low-keying."
Meanwhile, Iran asserts that it effectively controls much of the waterway and intends to impose a toll system. This development follows a US war launched by Trump on February 28.
