Trump Claims U.S. Controls Strait of Hormuz Over Iran

Speaking amid stalled U.S.-Iran talks and ongoing disruptions in the Strait since February—including ship attacks and reroutes—Trump asserted American control despite Iran's mines and threats.

He pushed to reopen the waterway fully, threatening strikes on Iranian infrastructure and using frozen assets for shipping compensation.

 Iran fired back, warning that accepting U.S. funds would bar transit, as oil prices linger near $100 a barrel and tensions simmer ahead of midterms.
