Professor: Trump's Strait Remarks Target US and Europe
The article features statements from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the Strait of Hormuz, where he affirmed that the strait remains open to navigation despite Iran's comments that set conditions for passage. He explained that the presence of mines poses a threat to maritime safety, raising concerns among shipping and insurance companies, especially following their losses during wars. Trump also mentioned that he has succeeded in passing millions of barrels of oil through the southern passage of the strait, and he stated that imposing tolls on passage during wartime is illegal under international law, citing the events of the 1973 war when Egypt closed the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. He emphasized that the legal handling during wartime differs from that in peacetime.
