Trump claims US has total control over strait of Hormuz after Iran seizes two container ships | Donald Trump
Escalating tensions and potential disruption of global oil supply warrant concern.
Donald Trump asserted that the US has "total control" over the Strait of Hormuz, claiming Iranian leadership is fractured. The US military conducted a raid on a stateless oil tanker in the Indian Ocean, while Iran seized two container ships and imposed competing blockades on the strait. The Pentagon warned it could take six months to clear mines from the waterway, potentially impacting global oil prices and the economy. Despite these actions, Trump claimed Iranian factions are unable to agree on a negotiating stance, suggesting internal power struggles within their leadership.
