Trump Says US Has Total Control Over Strait of Hormuz, But Iran Rejects Claim The latest development in the ongoing standoff between Iran and the US has left observers puzzled about President Donald Trump's intentions.
Trump asserted that the US controls the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway connecting major oil producing nations to global markets.
However, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), an Iranian agency tasked with managing maritime traffic through the strait, rejected Trump's claim.
