US President Donald Trump announced on Friday his intention to declare the Strait of Hormuz a United States territory in the near future, affirming the continuation of the strict US naval blockade on Iran around the strategic waterway.
During a speech, Trump described the imposed naval blockade as a continuous "steel wall," stressing that no ship will be allowed to pass without prior approval from Washington. He threatened an unprecedented military response should US forces be targeted, stating: "If Iran attacks us, we will respond with a force a hundred times greater."
The US President touched upon recent military operations, noting that the use of B-2 strategic bombers prevented Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. He justified the resort to military force and maximum pressure as necessary to avert an imminent threat in the Middle East and to protect global security.
Trump concluded his remarks by defending his country's policies and military moves, asserting that they represent a decisive step to prevent nuclear proliferation and that he makes no apologies for them. He emphasized that ongoing pressures, even if they impact fuel costs, remain necessary to end what he described as regional and international threats.
