🇺🇸 President Trump says the U.S. has “total control” of the Strait of Hormuz
Claims:
“No ship can enter or leave without U.S. Navy approval”
Says the strait is “sealed tight”
until Iran agrees to a deal
The U.S. has increased naval control and enforcement
But reports show ships are still moving and some are bypassing restrictions
The situation remains contested and highly volatile, not absolute control
🌍 Bottom line:
This is a major escalation in rhetoric and pressure
The Strait — which handles ~20% of global oil —
is now at the center of a high-stakes standoff
