IRGC vows 'crushing response' as Trump claims ‘total control’ of Hormuz after 60-day deadline ends?

Tensions between Iran and the United States are rising again as the IRGC reportedly vows a “crushing response” while President Donald Trump claims the U.S. has “total control” of the Strait of Hormuz. The developments come after the reported expiration of a 60-day diplomatic deadline, raising fresh questions over whether negotiations can prevent another military confrontation. With Iran’s leadership facing renewed pressure and Washington maintaining its tough stance, the Strait of Hormuz remains a major flashpoint for global security and energy markets.
