Trump names Strait after himself excluding Qatar and Bahrain
U.S. President Donald Trump published a new map of the Gulf region, calling it the "Trump Strait," with the Strait of Hormuz labeled under this designation. This move comes after he rejected an Iranian proposal to cease hostilities for seven days in exchange for reopening the waterway and resuming nuclear negotiations. Reports confirmed that Trump refused Iran's proposal, which called for ending hostile acts and lifting the naval blockade imposed on Iran. He indicated that the United States expects to resume military strikes against Iran after the November congressional elections. Iran, for its part, submitted a detailed seven-day plan to de-escalate tensions, including halting hostilities and reopening the strait. However, Trump expressed doubts about Tehran's willingness to cease its demands and is considering resuming military operations. Tensions in the region are escalating, with Washington refusing to lift the blockade and Iran insisting on its sovereign rights. Observers warn that any disruption of this vital waterway could impact maritime security and global oil markets.
