US President Donald Trump has made a fresh claim regarding rising tensions with Iran, stating on Truth Social that the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz has been completely “blocked,” significantly increasing economic pressure on Tehran.
According to Trump, Iran is facing substantial financial losses due to the closure of the key maritime route and is keen to see it reopened. He asserted that the country typically generates massive daily revenue through this passage, which has now been disrupted. Trump also suggested that Iran’s public stance supporting the closure is merely an attempt to maintain its image.
In his remarks, Trump hinted that he had recently received indications that Iran is willing to reopen the Strait immediately. However, he maintained a firm position, warning that reopening the route without a concrete agreement would eliminate any possibility of a future deal with Iran.
The development comes after peace talks between the United States and Iran collapsed earlier this month, prompting Washington to intensify its blockade of Iranian ports. A planned second round of negotiations in Pakistan also failed to materialise.
Meanwhile, tensions across the region remain high. The ceasefire, which was initially set to expire, has now been extended indefinitely, further complicating the geopolitical situation.
