Iran's response to the Trampkholmuz Channel

On 15 August, United States President Tripp 14 claimed that he would soon “declare the Strait of Hormuz as United States territory” “after defeating Iran”. In response to Trump, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Garibabadi, stated that “the Strait of Hormuz is not controlled by a post, an aircraft carrier, an executive order or a campaign speech. Iran is neither afraid of threats nor deterred by force.” The Commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, Ali Azmaï, also stated on 14 January that the Strait of Hormuz remained closed and under the full control of the Iranian military. “The facts should have been seen on the ground, not in statements made by United States officials.” Kim Xian
