Trump says he will declare Strait of Hormuz a 'territory of the United States' after defeating Iran
The US president also described Iran as a "very evil country" and the "number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world" during his comments at a New York police event.
US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he intends to declare the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States. Speaking at an event in Garden City, New York, Trump stated this declaration would occur "after we finish defeating Iran," asserting that Iran is already "very badly defeated." He added, "We have the blockade. No ships get through unless we want them to." This follows earlier remarks to Fox News about hitting Iran economically, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's statement on Thursday that unprecedented economic measures against Tehran would be imposed as early as next week.
