Iran-Krieg: Trump: USA haben Straße von Hormus vollständig unter Kontrolle – Neue Warnung an Iran
Noch immer bedroht der Iran die Schifffahrt in der Straße von Hormus – so berichtet es eine britische Behörde. US-Präsident Trump vertritt eine andere Sicht der Dinge.
Washington. Despite the fact that few commercial ships are still navigating through the Hormuz Strait, which Iran has effectively blocked, the US government continues to claim full control over the strait. President Donald Trump asserted this during a press conference. "It belongs to us", he declared to reporters. Eventually, the Iranians "might do something, and then they'll be gone", Trump warned.
However, the US currently finds itself in a very advantageous position. "We have full control over the Hormuz Strait. They do not", he insisted. The UK maritime safety authority (UKMTO) reported on the evening via platform X that attacks and harassment by Iranian Revolutionary Guards in the strait were ongoing, serving as proof of Iran's desire to maintain its presence along key transit routes and exert pressure on passing vessels.
The risk of uncharted or floating mines persists. Commercial shipping continues to operate at reduced levels. Trump expressed lack of trust in Iran, stating, "They've always lied to me." The Islamic Republic is no longer the "tyrant in the Middle East" due to the US-led war. The day before, the Republican had claimed that following a mine-clearing operation, the strait was once again navigable and would be "100 percent controlled" by the US.
