Trump claims US has “total control” of Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump has claimed that American forces have established full control over the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that Iran lacks the military capability to challenge a blockade of the strategic waterway.

Trump made the remarks in a post on his Truth Social account, where he also issued a series of sweeping claims about Iran’s military capabilities and internal situation.

“The U.S.A. has total control over the Strait of Hormuz. I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT! Our Naval Blockade is being called, by everyone, “A WALL OF STEEL,” and there is nothing Iran can do about it. They have no Navy, they have no Air Force, their remaining soldiers are unpaid, the IRGC is decimated and fleeing, and their “Leadership” is uncertain, at best! They have No Money - Their country is “shot.” All they have is FAKE NEWS and 300% INFLATION, and getting worse! Iran is all talk and no action, the Bully of the Middle East No Longer. Praise be to Allah!” the US president noted.
