Tehran challenges Trump’s claim of US control over Hormuz

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has rejected US President Donald Trump’s claim that Washington has established “full control” over the Strait of Hormuz, accusing the United States of repeatedly making serious intelligence-related miscalculations.

“The U.S. has long miscalculated due to intelligence failures. Case in point: The war on Iran. Now, an even bigger miscalculation on the Strait of Hormuz.

Worse than fake news is fake intelligence. Be careful.

Allah is Great, Greater than ANY power on Earth. In Allah we trust,” Araghchi said.

His remarks came after Trump said the United States had established “full control” over the strategic waterway, a key route for global energy shipments.

Iranian authorities have disputed the US claim, maintaining that the Strait of Hormuz remains under Tehran’s control and management.
