WorldTrump says he will declare Strait of Hormuz a US ‘territory’ amid Iran war

US President Donald Trump said the United States would soon declare the Strait of Hormuz its “territory” after defeating Iran. Control of the vital waterway has become a major sticking point in US-Iran ceasefire negotiations, and his remarks are likely to inflame tensions. Iran’s deputy foreign minister rejected the idea, saying the strait could not be taken over by a tweet, aircraft carrier or decree.
