This incident occurs amidst ongoing tensions with Iran, as the Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries expired. US President Donald Trump has claimed that the Strait of Hormuz is US territory and has stated that there are no ongoing talks or conversations with Iran. The naval blockade remains in full force, and the Hormuz Strait is open and operational, with all water mines removed or detonated, according to a statement from Trump on Truth Social.
