Trump Claims Credit for Closing Strait of Hormuz, Not Iran

In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump asserted that he, not Iran, is responsible for keeping the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz closed. The waterway, through which about one-fifth of the world's oil passes, has been a focal point of geopolitical tension. Trump's remarks come amid ongoing debates over U.S. policy in the region and the impact on global oil markets.
