Trump Claims US Will Ultimately Control the Strait of Hormuz

13 Temmuz 2026Bloomberg

President Donald Trump stated that the United States is actively dismantling Iran's capabilities related to the Strait of Hormuz. He expressed confidence that the US will ultimately control the strategic waterway.
This assertion highlights the ongoing tensions between the US and Iran regarding maritime security and regional influence.
The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial passage for oil transport, with about 20% of the world's oil passing through it. The US has been involved in various military and diplomatic efforts to counter Iran's influence in the region, particularly following the withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018.
Trump's comments reflect a broader strategy of exerting US dominance in critical maritime chokepoints, particularly in the context of rising geopolitical tensions. The Strait of Hormuz is vital for global oil shipments, and controlling it could significantly impact international energy markets.
