Photos — Trump Spurs Debate on Hormuz
U.S. President Donald Trump posted a picture of the Strait of Hormuz with the phrase "New American Land," in an escalation step indicating Washington's control over the strait, which is a strategic passage for global oil shipments. Trump clarified that he means the United States is asserting control over the strait through a blockade, supporting his declaration of an area belonging to the United States. It is worth noting that the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz has increased due to Iran's closure of it since February, which has caused disruptions in oil shipping. The strait remains one of the main tools of pressure in the confrontation with Tehran.
