Geopolitical tension between America and Iran has once again reached its peak. Iran has reacted sharply to US President Donald Trump's recent statement in which he claimed to declare the strategically important Strait of Hormuz as American territory after defeating Iran in the war. Since this statement came to light, the stir in international diplomacy has intensified. The eyes of the whole world are focused on this major sea route and the ongoing tension between the two countries, because it can directly impact the global economy and crude oil supply. History cannot be changed by tweets or warships: Iran's tough stance Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, taking a tough stance on the social media platform X, outright rejected the US President's claims. He said in clear words that Hormuz, which is counted among the most sensitive waterways of the world, can neither be captured through any social media tweet nor is it possible to capture it on the strength of aircraft carriers, any military order or election speeches. The Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister warned bluntly that Iran is not a country that is afraid of any kind of threats, nor will it ever bow down to an unreasonable display of power. He stressed that Hormuz always belonged to Iran, belongs to Iran even today and will remain Iran's in the future also. America will have to accept the ground reality. Attacking Donald Trump's claims, the Iranian leadership advised America that it should now accept the ground reality. Iranian officials claim that America has suffered huge losses on the strategic front in this ongoing deadlock and conflict. Iran also says that the right and the final decision to keep the strategically important Strait of Hormuz closed or reopen it will be completely under the control of Iran only. Unless the US accepts Iran's conditions and accepts the reality of its diplomatic defeat, the blockades and restrictions imposed on this sea route will continue. What was that controversial claim of Donald Trump? Earlier, US President Donald Trump had made a big claim while addressing an election rally in Long Island, New York. He had said that after defeating Iran, America would very soon declare the Strait of Hormuz as American territory. Trump had also claimed that the US Navy has complete and uninterrupted control over this waterway and that their naval blockade is like a 'steel wall' which Iran cannot cross even if it wants to. Claiming that Iran's military capabilities were weak, he had seriously accused Tehran of only making statements and increasing inflation in the country. Crisis looms on global oil supply and maritime trade. Immediately after Donald Trump's aggressive claims, Tehran officially rejected them and made it clear that the Strait of Hormuz is still completely closed and will not be opened unless Iran's conditions are accepted. Repeated statements by American officials are not going to bring any change in the ground situation. Let us tell you that the Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important and busiest sea routes in the world, through which a large part of the global energy passes. The ever-increasing tensions here are leading to a sharp rise in global crude oil prices and deepening fears of a wider conflict, due to which many commercial ships have also changed their navigation routes.
