Ron Paul on Trump Saying Hormuz Is ‘New American Territory”!
Trump said the United States could control the strategic shipping route as Iran dismissed the claim and traffic restrictions continued to drive up fuel costs worldwide.
- On Tuesday, President Trump posted a map on Truth Social labeling the Strait of Hormuz 'New U.S. Territory,' claiming Iranian mines were cleared and no further negotiations with Tehran were scheduled.
- Trump first voiced this plan in a Friday speech on Long Island, stating, 'After we finish defeating Iran... I'll be declaring the Hormuz strait a territory of the United States.'
- Iran dismissed the comments as 'fanciful delusions,' while deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi responded that the 'illusion about the Strait of Hormuz will soon be corrected.'
- Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned the strait will remain closed until the United States lifts its blockade and oil embargo, threatening any party continuing its 'aggression or threats.'
- The 60-day ceasefire expired Monday with no progress on ending the conflict, while critics condemned the president as a 'completely unhinged lunatic' amid mounting casualties across the Middle East.
