Middle East Crisis: middle east Amidst the ongoing war, US President Donald Trump is trying his best to open the Strait of Hormuz closed by Iran. Trump has warned Iran several times regarding this. Every day Trump is giving some statement or the other. Meanwhile, during an event organized in Miami, he called the strategically important Strait of Hormuz the Strait of Trump.
Everyone started laughing after hearing this statement of Trump. But this statement given by Trump jokingly has now started a new debate. This statement of Trump has come at a time when tension between America and Iran is at its peak.
Joke or strategic hint?
During his statement, Donald Trump said, “We’re in talks right now, and it would be great if we could get something done, but they have to open it. They have to open the Trump Strait, I mean, the Strait of Hormuz,” before laughing and saying, “Sorry, I’m very sorry. What a big mistake.”
Taking a dig at the media, Trump said, “Fake news will say that he said ‘Straight of Trump’ by mistake. No, no such mistake happens to me. It happens very rarely.”
What did Trump say about Iran?
In his speech, Trump targeted Iran and said that the US military is achieving its goals in the war, even though Tehran is rejecting these claims. He said “We are closer than ever to the rise of a Middle East that will be free from Iranian terrorism and nuclear blackmail.”
Along with this, while referring to the military action, he said, “Under my leadership, America is eliminating the threat posed by this fundamentalist regime, completely destroying Iran’s capabilities through Operation Epic Fury, this has never been seen before. We have the most powerful army in the world, for 47 years Iran has been considered the hegemon of the Middle East, but now it is no longer the hegemon.”
Why did you mention the killing of Suleimani?
Recalling his first term, Donald Trump mentioned the assassination of Iranian General Qasim Sulemani. He claimed that at that time there was satisfaction regarding this step within the government itself. Trump said that Iran’s top leadership had suffered major losses during the attacks, which affected the regional balance of power.
How long did Trump avoid the attacks?
Amidst this entire incident, Trump has decided to postpone the possible attack on Iran’s energy plants till April 6. This step has been taken with the aim of giving Tehran time to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. It is noteworthy that the closure of this strait has had a serious impact on the global energy supply and a sharp rise in oil prices has been seen in the international market.
