US President suggests renaming Ormuz as the Strait of Trump
Donald Trump says the waterway, which has been blocked since the outbreak of war with Iran, is now under American control.
US President Donald Trump claims that the United States has taken control of the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway blocked since the outbreak of war with Iran. Trump suggested renaming it to "Trump Strait". The announcement comes after Trump said the US had carried out a significant attack in response to Iran's failed attempt to plant sea mines in the strait and the launch of eight Iranian missiles against a US military base in Jordan. Trump warned that if Iran responds, it will face an even stronger attack.
