“The United States fully controls the Strait of Hormuz,” President Donald Trump posted on the social network “TruthSocial” on Wednesday, adding that the US naval blockade had already been dubbed a “steel wall.”
“Everyone calls our naval blockade a STEEL WALL and Iran can do nothing about it,” he emphasized.
Trump also assured that “The US fully controls the Strait of Hormuz” and “I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT (control).”

However, reality may be quite different from how Trump portrays it.
The words of the US president were responded to by Hossein Taeb, the head of the Basij paramilitary forces subordinate to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, who emphasized that this strategic waterway is still controlled by Iran.
“Today you see that the Strait of Hormuz is governed and controlled by the Islamic Republic, and our country continues on its path being completely safe,” he said on state television.
