Trump Claims U.S. Has 'Total Control' Over Strait of Hormuz

Donald Trump claims the U.S. has "total control" over the strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil transport. This statement comes amid rising tensions, as Iran recently seized two container ships. A U.S. report warns it could take up to six months to clear mines in the strait, raising concerns about maritime safety and oil prices. Right now, oil costs around $100 a barrel. The U.S. military has been active, boarding a stateless oil tanker believed to be carrying Iranian crude. However, despite these actions, the U.S. hasn't shown it can effectively open the strait to vessels from allied Gulf states. What's interesting is the infighting within Iran's leadership, which Trump claims is making it hard to know who is really in charge. The bottom line is that these developments could have significant implications for oil supply and prices, affecting everyone’s wallet and the global economy.
