Trump Threatens to Declare Strait of Hormuz US Territory

Former US President Donald Trump announced plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz as United States territory in the near future, escalating tensions in the Middle East.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global maritime chokepoint, through which approximately 20-30% of the world's total oil consumption passes daily.

This declaration follows a series of US economic isolation measures against Iran, further straining diplomatic relations and threatening global energy market stability.
