US President Suggests Renaming Strait
U.S. President Donald Trump proposed renaming the Strait of Hormuz to "Trump Strait," claiming that the United States now controls the strait, which is one of the most important global energy passages, with approximately 20.9 million barrels of oil passing through daily. This was stated in a post on his "Truth Social" platform, where he expressed a desire to make the strait more popular, noting that U.S. control over it would enhance its standing. The region has experienced military tensions since the beginning of 2026, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz during the war between the United States and Iran, which later escalated again, with U.S. strikes resuming on targets inside Iran, despite efforts to reach an agreement to open the corridor for international navigation.
