Donald Trump said that he will "soon" declare the Strait of Hormuz as US territory.

Donald Trump anunció en un mitin político que 'pronto' declarará el Estrecho de Ormuz como territorio estadounidense, afirmando que Irán está siendo derrotado de forma contundente. Durante el evento, Trump destacó el control estadounidense sobre el estrecho, que es crucial para el transporte global de energía y bienes, y mencionó que Estados Unidos ha impuesto un bloqueo a los puertos iraníes. Además, instó a sus seguidores a aceptar aumentos en el precio de la gasolina como consecuencia de la guerra contra Irán. En días previos, Trump había afirmado en redes sociales que Estados Unidos tenía 'control total' sobre el estrecho, aunque Irán negó esta afirmación, declarando que el estrecho está bajo su control.

Donald Trump warned Iran that it has its final opportunity to reach an agreement before another military escalation, during a speech in the Oval Office. The president emphasized his commitment to finding a negotiated solution to the ongoing conflict, stating that he wants to give all possible chances to avoid further bloodshed. “I believe we might achieve something, but I want to give all possible opportunities before the decapitation,” he said. He added, “This is their last chance to sign a good document.” According to reports, the first stage of a potential agreement would allow immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically vital waterway for international trade and oil transportation. The second phase would involve Iran’s nuclear disarmament, though Trump acknowledged that this process would take more time. His remarks came after he claimed that intelligence leaks about a planned military operation had allowed Iranian authorities to understand the gravity of the situation, thereby creating an opportunity to prevent additional casualties. Trump also expressed frustration with Iranian leaders, accusing them of hypocrisy. On his social media platform, Truth Social, he wrote that Iranian officials seek private meetings with the U.S. government but publicly deny any dialogue. “Whether Iran admits it or not, we are talking about a solution to a problem they have caused for decades,” he stated. The White House announced that a new round of negotiations was set to begin on Monday. However, Tehran denied that such talks were taking place directly with Washington. Instead, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei clarified that discussions with Oman are focused solely on the Strait of Hormuz. He noted that broader issues related to U.S.-Iran relations will be addressed later, depending on how the current situation develops. In response to concerns over the Strait of Hormuz, Trump reiterated that the United States would not charge fees for ships passing through the waterway. “If someone is going to charge, we’ll charge,” he said, indicating a willingness to negotiate terms while maintaining control over access. The administration’s approach reflects a delicate balance between diplomatic engagement and the threat of military action. While Trump insists on giving Iran one final chance to cooperate, the Iranian side appears cautious, focusing narrowly on the immediate issue of the strait. This divergence in positions highlights the complexity of the ongoing crisis, with both sides navigating a tense political landscape shaped by historical tensions and strategic interests.
