Iran responds to Trump: Strait of Hormuz not seized by tweets
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister stated that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be controlled by a tweet or an aircraft carrier, in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's claims that he would declare the strait "American territory." Gharib Abadi affirmed that the strait is under Iran's jurisdiction and will remain so, and that it is not closed or opened except by order from Iran. Iran rejects U.S. intimidation and pointed to strategic defeats the United States has faced against Iran. This comes amid escalating tensions in the region following Trump’s assertions of imposing a complete blockade on the strait, and military tensions between Washington and Tehran over control of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, amid concerns over oil supplies and regional conflicts.
