Iran insists on maintaining control of the Strait of Hormuz while Trump threatens to open it by force

Five months after the United States and Israel launched the war against Iran, the dispute over control of the Strait of Hormuz continues at the center of the disputes between both parties. Tehran insists on establishing conditions that give it control of maritime traffic in the area, which has been practically closed since the attacks began in February, and is trying to reach an agreement with Oman, the other country with a coast on Hormuz.

US President Donald Trump, on the other hand, is stepping up threats to open the passage by force if an agreement is not reached soon to restore free navigation as it was before the war, when more than a fifth of the world's oil circulated through the strait.
