A war in Iran has turned the Strait of Hormuz into a choke point so critical that one misstep could rattle every economy on Earth
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday posted a map on his Truth Social platform showing the Strait of Hormuz as “NEW U.S. Territory,” pressing his threat to claim sovereignty over the vital waterway.
Iran has effectively shut down the chokepoint, through which a fifth of the world’s oil transits, in retaliation for the war Trump started along with Israel in late February.
Trump first raised the idea of a US takeover on Friday, saying in a jovial-sounding tone he would soon declare it to be US territory — prompting Iran to retort that the strait “will remain Iranian.”
