The US, Iran conflict is in its sixth month with both sides violating the ceasefire agreements. The control of the Strait of Hormuz remains a thorny issue.
President Donald Trump said at the weekend that he would “soon” declare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory.
“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated — pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said at a rally at a police academy in Garden City, New York state. “It’s true,” he added.
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi dismissed Trump’s remarks, saying the country would “not be intimidated” and that the strategic waterway would remain under its control and authority.
