The Strait of Hormuz has become the center of a growing confrontation between Donald Trump and Iran. Iran says the strategic waterway is closed, while Trump says Hormuz is open and operating, despite a U.S. naval blockade. Trump also claimed that all water mines had been removed or detonated and rejected reports of talks with Tehran. His statement came as he spoke with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan about Gulf security and the latest Middle East developments. This video examines the competing claims over Hormuz, the U.S. naval presence, Iran’s position, and what the dispute means for shipping and regional stability.
