US President Donald Trump proclaimed on Wednesday that the United States had "total control" of the Strait of Hormuz, stating that Iran "has nothing Iran can do about it." Trump's assertion that the US would "keep" the strait was made in a post on Truth Social, where he referred to the naval blockade as an "A Wall of Steel." The President alleged that Iran lacked a navy and air force, with their remaining forces being unpaid, the IRGC decimated, and leadership uncertain.
Trump claimed that Iran had "no money" and that their country was "shot (sic)." He referred to Iran as the "bully of the Middle East" and proclaimed "Praise be to Allah!"
