US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he intends to declare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory after defeating the terrorist Iranian regime.
“After we finish defeating Iran, ... pretty soon I'll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a US territory,” Trump said, according to Anadolu Agency and TASS.
The statement marks a sharp escalation in rhetoric against the terrorist Iranian regime, which continues to threaten international shipping and regional stability.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global oil transit point, and Trump's remarks signal a potential future US claim over the strategic waterway.
