President Trump Plans to Declare Strait of Hormuz as US Territory

15 Ağustos 2026Al Jazeera

US President Donald Trump announced plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz as US territory. This move is expected to have significant implications for international maritime law and regional geopolitics.
The Strait is a crucial waterway for global oil shipments, making this declaration a potential flashpoint in US-Iran relations.
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital passage for oil transport, with a significant percentage of the world's oil supply passing through it. Historically, the region has been a site of conflict and strategic maneuvering, particularly between the US and Iran.
Trump's declaration could escalate tensions in an already volatile region, as it challenges the sovereignty of nations that border the Strait. This action might be seen as an assertion of US dominance in the area, but it also risks provoking retaliation from Iran and its allies.
