Trump framed Iran’s announcement as a political win after the strait reopened, calling it a victory over Iran on Truth Social.

  • On April 17, President Donald Trump declared 'V-I Day' for 'Victory over Iran' as Iran announced the Strait of Iran is fully open, Trump wrote on Truth Social.

  • Despite the Strait of Iran reopening, the administration warns that blockade restrictions will continue until Iran complies fully. This marks a critical phase in the ongoing standoff between the U.S. and Iran.
