Trump threatens Iran over Strait of Hormuz
Washington, June 21 : US President Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning to Iran, saying Washington could assume control of the Strait of Hormuz if ongoing negotiations fail to produce an agreement.
Speaking amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, Trump cautioned Tehran that the strategically important waterway could come under US control should diplomatic efforts collapse. The statement adds to growing concerns over the future of one of the world's most critical oil transit routes.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a key maritime passage through which a significant share of global crude oil shipments passes. Any disruption in the region has the potential to affect international energy markets and shipping operations.
Trump's remarks come as discussions involving the United States and Iran continue, with both sides attempting to reach a broader understanding. However, the US president indicated that failure to secure a deal could prompt stronger measures regarding the waterway.
The warning marks another escalation in rhetoric between Washington and Tehran, as uncertainty persists over regional security and the stability of global oil supplies.
