.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
U.S. President Donald Trump reposted an image depicting the Strait of Hormuz as part of the "American territories," in a symbolic message reflecting his escalation over control of maritime navigation in the strait amid tensions with Iran. The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that its forces removed naval mines planted by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, allowing more than 1,500 ships to pass through in recent months. However, the blockade against Iran remains in place, with Washington preventing Iranian port access and turning back 75 ships attempting to breach the blockade. Shipping data indicates that traffic through the strait remains below pre-tension levels, while the U.S. affirms that the strait continues to be a strategic international passage, even though it does not grant it legal sovereignty.
