Trump: US Controls Strait of Hormuz Despite Iranian Blockade
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Washington – President Donald Trump stated on Monday that the United States maintains total control over the Strait of Hormuz, despite Iran blocking the maritime route in retaliation for the ongoing conflict. 'It is already open. Look, the only one controlling the Strait of Hormuz right now is the United States Navy,' the president asserted during a press conference in the Oval Office. Trump mentioned that 'occasionally' the Islamic Republic places some naval mines with explosives in the strait, but he claimed that the US Armed Forces have completely cleared the passage. Iran, which is negotiating with its neighbor Oman for a possible agreement regarding the strait, released a list of demands on Saturday that the United States must meet for maritime traffic to reopen in this key route for global oil trade.
