Iran has sharply reacted to statements made by US President Donald Trump regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran rejected his remarks, calling them a "futile illusion."
On the same day, Trump posted an image on social media showing the strategically important Strait of Hormuz labeled as "new territory of the United States." The post immediately provoked a reaction from the Iranian side.
Iran subsequently stated through social media that, in its view, the US president continues his "futile illusion" by claiming that the Strait of Hormuz belongs to the United States.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important maritime routes in the world and has a crucial significance, especially for the transportation of oil and natural gas from the Persian Gulf region. Any political or military tensions in this area can therefore have wider implications for regional security and global energy markets.
This latest exchange of harsh statements comes at a time of heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, further increasing the tension surrounding this strategic maritime route.
