U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Friday that the United States maintains control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, highlighting the country's capability to take control of all Iranian territory and its oil resources, potentially ending the conflict swiftly. Trump
described Iran as economically failed and lacking financial resources, emphasizing the possibility of seizing its lands and oil entirely. He noted that the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz, through which essential oil supplies pass, and that Iran is under
a naval blockade. He praised the U.S. Navy's efforts in enforcing the blockade on Iran, adding that oil volumes passing through the strait have exceeded levels seen before the tensions escalated.
