IRAN WAR: Trump says U.S. ‘owns’ and controls Strait of Hormuz

Here's the latest on the Iran war on Wednesday.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has vehemently denounced repeated attacks by Iran on vessels operated by the UAE's Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and on commercial ships within the Strait of Hormuz. Jasem Mohammed Albudaiwi, the Secretary-General of the GCC, expressed grave concern over these aggressive actions, which he deemed an intolerable escalation and a blatant breach of maritime security.

The Secretary-General emphasized that Iran must cease all hostile activities that jeopardize regional and global stability. He urged the global community to apply pressure on Iran to desist from such hostile behaviors. Albudaiwi reaffirmed the GCC's unwavering support for the United Arab Emirates, pledging solidarity with the UAE in its pursuit of measures to safeguard its security, territorial integrity, and interests.
