Trump calls Hormuz ‘new US territory’, shares map as Iran talks remain stalled
In a post on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump shared an image of a map in which the strategic chokepoint was marked as the "new US territory".
US President Donald Trump recently reiterated his claim that the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil and gas transit route, now constitutes the United States' "new territory," despite Iran's stance that the waterway remains closed. This assertion was made in a post on Trump's Truth Social platform, mirroring a previous declaration on August 18. The Strategic Chokepoint has seen a significant slowdown in oil shipments, and Iran has threatened repercussions against unauthorized tankers attempting to navigate through it.
