Trump's 'lies' busted? Mojtaba aide humiliates USA, says Hormuz claim part of 'desperate propaganda'

Published on Aug 13, 2026 11:06 pm IST

Iran has sharply challenged Donald Trump over the Strait of Hormuz as a fragile U.S.-Iran understanding approaches a critical deadline. The IRGC-linked Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters rejected Washington's claim of control over the waterway, insisting commercial ships and oil tankers still require Iranian authorization for safe passage. Its spokesperson also mocked the U.S. military as “helpless” and warned that Tehran was closely watching American and Israeli movements in the region. With both sides now trading increasingly defiant claims, could the Hormuz standoff push Trump and Mojtaba toward another confrontation?
