Trump: We fully control the Strait of Hormuz... and we will keep it - Sarmad

US President Donald Trump said that the United States now has “full” control over the Strait of Hormuz, reiterating his support for the naval blockade imposed on Iran.

Trump wrote on his platform, Truth Social: “The United States has full control over the Strait of Hormuz... I think we’re going to keep it!”

He added that the US naval blockade “is described by everyone as a steel wall,” noting, “There is nothing Iran can do about it.”

Trump again referred to damage inflicted on Iran’s military capabilities during the war, stating, “They have no navy, they have no air force, and their remaining soldiers are not being paid. The (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) has been destroyed and its members scattered, and its leadership is unstable at best.”

He added that Iran “has no money” and that the country is “broken.”

Trump said what remains for Iran is “fake news, with inflation soaring by 300 percent, and the situation is getting worse.” He continued, “Iran is all talk and no action, and it is no longer the bully of the Middle East.”

Iran and the United States have escalated their rhetoric over the past two days, exchanging new demands and threats regarding the war and the future of the Strait of Hormuz.
