Iran rejects Trump claim that the Strait of Hormuz will become U.S. territory

Reported · Written up by our desk · Trade & Tariffs

Iran has pushed back against a claim by U.S. President Donald Trump that the Strait of Hormuz would soon become U.S. territory, saying the waterway will remain Iranian, according to CNBC Markets.

CNBC World also reported that Iran made the point through its deputy foreign minister, framing it as a refusal of the U.S. assertion about the strait’s status.

Both outlets noted there were reports of another ship being struck, underscoring continued tensions around the strategic chokepoint.
