Iran Claims Control Over Strait of Hormuz, Disputes Trump's Assertions

13 Ağustos 2026Al Jazeera

Iran has declared that it maintains full control over the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime passage for global oil shipments. This statement directly counters assertions made by former President Trump regarding U.S.
dominance in the area. The announcement underscores rising tensions between Iran and the United States, particularly concerning maritime security and regional influence.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow passage that connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and is one of the world's most critical chokepoints for oil transportation. Control over this area is a contentious issue, especially given the historical backdrop of U.S.-Iranian relations and ongoing conflicts in the region.
Iran's assertion of control over the Strait of Hormuz reflects its strategic military posture and aims to bolster national pride amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions. This move may also serve as a warning to the U.S.
