On 15 August, the President of the United States, Trump, in an interview with the media, stated that the United States would be carrying out a severe economic blow against Iran. Furthermore, when he spoke about Iran, Trump stated that he “will soon declare the Strait of Hormuz to be United States territory”. In an address to the event held that day on the island of the Governor of New York, Trump said that Iran was suffering a tragic defeat, “I will soon declare the Strait of Hormuz American territory after we have defeated Iran completely”. And when he said that, he smiled and said, "It's true." Trump added that high oil prices were a small problem compared to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and that he “never apologized”. I did the right thing." (In Russian)
