Experts discuss Trump’s Strait of Hormuz claim
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he intends to declare the Strait of Hormuz an American territory after Iran's defeat, which he claimed could happen very soon. However, legal experts clarified that claiming territorial rights over the waterway requires international legal agreements and has not been officially adopted. It was emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz is subject to an international regime ensuring freedom of navigation, and it does not belong to Iran or Oman. Control over the strait does not grant ownership rights or alter international laws. Expectations suggest that the most likely solution is to reach an agreement to open the strait and impose fees on ships, while ruling out the possibility of establishing U.S. control as territory.
