Trump vows to declare Strait of Hormuz U.S. territory amid Iran talks

President Donald Trump told a crowd in New York on August 14 that he would soon declare the Strait of Hormuz a U. S. territory, saying the move followed a decisive defeat of Iran and urging Americans to brace for higher gasoline prices. Iran had earlier warned it would fire on any U. S. warships that altered the approved corridor through the strait, and a British maritime agency reported that an unidentified projectile struck a cargo vessel near Oman.

Throughout August, Iranian and Omani officials said they were close to a draft agreement to reopen the waterway, but Tehran repeatedly set extensive conditions—including lifting the U. S. naval blockade, compensation for war damage, and sanctions relief—before any reopening could occur. Iran’s foreign ministry reiterated that the strait would stay closed until the United States meets those demands, while ship traffic remained far below pre-war levels. Iranian officials also dismissed Trump’s claim of control over the strait.
