Iran claims Strait of Hormuz as US territory
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi emphasized that Iran will not submit to threats or displays of power from the United States regarding the Strait of Hormuz. He explained that control over the waterway is in Iran's hands, and its opening or closing depends solely on Iran's decision. In response to Trump's statements accusing Iran of attempting to turn the strait into an American-controlled area, Tehran reaffirmed its sovereignty over the strait, considering any action outside that as an attempt to impose international control. These statements come amid a decline in maritime traffic and ongoing tensions threatening the security of global oil supplies, with concerns about a potential military escalation that could impact energy markets and fuel prices worldwide.
