President Donald Trump has asserted that the US has "total control over the Hormuz Strait," amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. The Hormuz Strait is a critical waterway that connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, and its control is crucial for global oil trade.
The US and Iran have been engaged in deadlocked negotiations over the strait, with both sides hardening their positions. The Hormuz Strait is a key shipping route, with many vessels tracking the area closely. The situation has raised concerns about the potential for shipping disruptions and the impact on global oil markets.
