Trump's Message to Iran on the Strait of Hormuz: They Can Do Nothing Against the Blockade

U.S. President Donald Trump made statements on his social media account regarding maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz and the current situation of Iran. Trump stated that the U.S. has full control over the Strait of Hormuz and expressed that they will maintain this situation. Trump noted that the blockade imposed by the U.S. Navy is referred to by everyone as a 'wall of steel' and claimed that Iran does not have the power to counter this situation. Targeting Tehran's military and economic structure, Trump alleged that Iran's navy and air force no longer exist, soldiers are not receiving salaries, the Revolutionary Guards have been severely damaged and disbanded, and the country's administration is in uncertainty.

Claiming that Iran's economy has collapsed and inflation has reached 300 percent, Trump argued that Tehran is left with only 'fake news.' Describing Iran as a country that 'only talks but cannot take action,' Trump stated that Tehran is no longer the bully of the Middle East, ending his statement with 'Thank God.'
