Iran facing leadership crisis, US controls Hormuz, Trump claims

US President Donald Trump said Iran is facing internal divisions over its leadership, asserting that the country effectively has no unified leadership structure.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump also claimed that the United States maintains full control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy transit route.

“Iran is having a very hard time figuring out who their leader is! They just don’t know! The infighting is between the “Hardliners,” who have been losing BADLY on the battlefield, and the “Moderates,” who are not very moderate at all (but gaining respect!), is CRAZY! We have total control over the Strait of Hormuz. No ship can enter or leave without the approval of the United States Navy. It is “Sealed up Tight,” until such time as Iran is able to make a DEAL!!!” the post by Trump reads.
