The Strait of Hormuz is completely occupied by America. US President Donald Trump announced this on Wednesday. He claimed that the US Navy has built an iron wall around that waterway. Iran will not be able to penetrate it in any way. Trump wrote on his social media, “Glory be to Allah”. Note that it was heard a couple of days ago that America has sent 20 warships to occupy Hormuz. The US President claimed that the operation was successful.
The Iran-US war has been going on for more than five months. It was heard that both countries are moving forward to restore peace. But the speculation clouded the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz. According to the US military's Central Command (CENTCOM), 20 warships are being deployed to the Middle East to support military operations against Iran and to strengthen the blockade against Tehran. The US military took the initiative to surround the strait to stop all ships leaving Iranian ports.
Trump claims that America has succeeded in this operation. On his own social media platform, Truth Social, he writes, 'The Strait of Hormuz is now completely in the possession of America. It seems that the area will be in our hands. I have built a steel wall. Iran cannot do anything. They have no navy, no air force. No money, unable to pay army. Fake news is spreading and prices are increasing in their country. They don't have grandfathers in the Middle East anymore, may God be glorified.' However, nothing has been said about this from Tehran.
It should be noted that the Strait of Hormuz has been Iran's most important tool since the beginning of the war. Tehran increased the pressure on the whole world by stopping the movement of ships. So far, the Strait of Hormuz has been closed by Iran. Iran's Supreme National Security Council said Hormuz will not be opened until America corrects its behavior. In this situation, Trump's announcement, Hormuz is now in the possession of America. In that case, the blockade of Iran will be effective?
