The 60-day period of the peace agreement has expired. Of course, this agreement was learned a long time ago. US President Donald Trump is in the 'mood' of direct conflict with Iran as soon as his term officially ends. Recently, he shared the map of Hormuz in a social media message and claimed that it is the new territory of America. A counter statement came from Iran. All in all, this incident has created a new tension.
Donald Trump recently shared a map of Hormuz on his social media handle Truth. Where the Straits of Hormuz – including Amirshahi, Oman and parts of Iran – are circled. Above is written in large letters, 'America's New Land.' Controversy started as soon as Trump's claim came forward. Meanwhile, after this incident, a statement came out on behalf of the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Where he said, “Hormuz will be closed until America implements the commitments given to Iran according to the agreement between the two countries.” That is, no matter what America says, the Strait of Hormuz will be blocked by Iran for the time being.
Of course, this claim of Donald Trump is not new, he has made this claim several times in the past. While talking to the media last Monday, he said on this issue, 'It is a wonderful idea. We are currently besieging Hormuz. I like the idea of declaring it as American territory. Because we have complete control over Hormuz.' Speaking at the Republican Party rally on Long Island last Friday, he said, “After the complete defeat of Iran, which is going to be badly defeated, I will soon declare Hormuz as US territory.” Although before that, Trump made this claim by sharing the map on social media.
