Trump: The Strait of Hormuz is open now and we control it 100%

US President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that the Strait of Hormuz is currently open, noting that a large number of ships are passing through it and that the US Navy is the sole entity controlling it at 100%, according to him. Trump added that the United States has removed all mines from the entire strait, emphasizing that Washington still retains the capacity to escalate tensions with Iran. In a previous statement, Trump said that Iran is seeking compensation for damages sustained during the five-month military conflict, clarifying in a post on the Truth Social platform that this demand was not raised during previous negotiations or meetings.
