US-Iran Conflict: "America will capture the Strait of Hormuz!" Donald Trump’s big announcement creates stir around the world, serious allegations against Iran for breaking the agreement

The spark of war (US-Iran War 2026) between America and Iran has now turned into a very dangerous international crisis. Destructive missile and drone attacks continue between the two countries for the second consecutive day. Amidst this fierce military tension, US President Donald Trump has given a shocking statement which has shaken the geopolitical and energy market equations of the entire world. President Trump has clearly announced that the US Army is going to take complete control of the world’s most important oil route ‘Strait of Hormuz’. Trump’s stern warning on Fox News: "Will charge security fees from ships"

US President Donald Trump, in a special interview given to ‘Fox News’, gave a direct challenge to Iran and said: American control will be on the strait: "We are taking full control and responsibility for the security of the Strait of Hormuz into our own hands. We will protect this international route at all costs."

Preparation to collect security tax: Trump made another big statement pointing towards Gulf countries and international merchant ships. He said that in future, special protection fee can also be collected from ships and oil supertankers passing safely through this waterway. Iran stabbed in the back: Trump accused Iran that an interim agreement to end the war between the two countries had almost been finalized, but Iran completely broke the decorum of that agreement by suddenly carrying out a drone attack. Iran attacks Gulf countries; America destroyed coastal bases. In this war between the two superpowers, other Gulf countries are also unknowingly getting involved: Iran’s claim: Iran’s ‘Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) has claimed that it has targeted American military bases located in Bahrain and Kuwait. Along with this, missiles have also been fired on Oman’s radar system and the ammunition depot of Jordan’s ‘Prince Hassan Air Base’. However, Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan have said that their sophisticated air defense systems destroyed most of Iran’s threats in the air. America’s grand counterattack: The US Central Command has penetrated inside Iran and bombed it using deadly fighter planes, naval warships and drones. In this retaliation, Iran’s air defense system, coastal radar, missile launch pads and their small combat boats have been completely destroyed. Chaos in global energy markets; 5% jump in crude oil prices. About 20% of the world’s total crude oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz alone. Fear of oil crisis: Iran’s government media claims that its navy fired warning shots at two ships passing through this route and forcibly stopped them. Whereas America has rejected this claim and said that the movement of merchant ships is still going on under the shadow of its naval security. Market boom: Due to this military standoff, there has been a panic among investors in the international market, due to which the price of Brent Crude jumped by 5% at one time and later it remained at an increase of 3.5%. A huge rise is also being seen in the prices of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude. Backchannel diplomacy activated; Will the world war be averted? Amidst the missiles raining on land and sea, a relief news is also coming from the diplomatic corridors. Iran’s Foreign Ministry has issued a statement saying that they are in constant contact with mediators from Qatar, Pakistan and Oman to prevent further flare-up of war. However, Iran has blamed America for weakening peace efforts. Now it remains to be seen whether this backchannel diplomacy of Qatar and Oman can stop the war at this critical juncture or not.
