Trump claims war in Middle East nearly complete, considers Strait of Hormuz control

US President Donald Trump has stated that the war in the Middle East is “very complete.” He also mentioned considering taking control of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for international oil trade.

The price of oil has dropped by 10% following Trump’s warning to Iran. If Iran were to block the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said he would hit back “twenty times harder.”

Critics have raised concerns about the potential consequences of Trump’s plans to open the Strait of Hormuz to all countries, including China.

The US President has stated that it is an honor to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for other nations.
