Trump Says US Controls Strait of Hormuz With 'Wall of Steel' Blockade
Donald Trump says the US has total control over the Strait of Hormuz and will keep it, dismissing Iran's military and economic capacity.
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the United States has total control over the Strait of Hormuz and intends to keep it. He described the naval blockade as being called "a wall of steel" and said there is nothing Iran can do about it.
Trump argued Iran has no navy or air force, its remaining soldiers are unpaid, the IRGC is decimated and fleeing, and the country's leadership is uncertain. He also claimed Iran has no money and that the country is "shot," pointing to what he called fake news and inflation of 300% that is getting worse.
He closed by saying Iran is all talk and no action and is no longer the bully of the Middle East. The post does not detail specific military actions or oil-market measures.
