Trump declares Strait of Hormuz mine-free and under U.S. control
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that the Strait of Hormuz is mine-free and fully controlled by the United States.
According to U.S. President Donald Trump, the strategically important Strait of Hormuz is now mine-free. Trump stated that the strait has been cleared and is "100 percent" under U.S. control. This claim aligns with reports confirming U.S. control over the shipping route.
Iran, however, is likely to disagree with this assessment. There are no official Iranian statements that could contradict or confirm Trump's assertions, which leaves the situation somewhat unclear in the geopolitical context.
