"Hormuz Will Be US Territory!" Donald Trump Drops Massive Bombshell Over World’s Most Vital Oil Chokepoint-Tehran Calls It a "Delusional Fantasy"!
In one of the most sensational geopolitical statements of modern times, US President Donald Trump announced that the United States will soon declare the strategic Strait of Hormuz as official US territory once its ongoing military confrontation with Iran concludes. Addressing a political rally in Long Island, New York, Trump boldly claimed that Tehran is suffering heavy defeats and asserted, "Pretty soon I'll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States," escalating international rhetoric over the narrow waterway that handles roughly one-fifth of the world’s daily petroleum and liquefied natural gas shipments.
Trump’s remarks come days after he claimed the US Navy has "total control" over the passage, describing the American naval blockade of Iranian ports as an unbreakable "wall of steel". While Trump did not clarify any legal mechanism or international framework for declaring a foreign maritime channel-bordered entirely by Iran and Oman-as American sovereign land, he maintained that Washington would dictate shipping access and inflict severe economic measures on Tehran to completely shut down its nuclear program.
The dramatic claim triggered an immediate and furious backlash from Tehran. Rejecting Trump's threats, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi slammed the statement as an impossible fantasy, stating that the strategic passage "cannot be seized by a tweet, an aircraft carrier, an order, or an election speech". Iran’s leadership fired back that the Strait of Hormuz "has been Iranian, is Iranian, and will remain Iranian," warning that it will continue enforcing its own counter-blockades until Washington accepts reality.
