On the 12th, US President Trump claimed on social media that the United States has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran is powerless in response.
He said: "I think we will continue to control it! Our maritime blockade is called a 'steel wall' by everyone, and Iran can do nothing about it."
He stated: "They have no navy, no air force, the remaining soldiers have not been paid, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has been severely damaged and is on the run, and their 'leadership' faces an uncertain future!"
However, on the 11th, Iranian Supreme Leader’s adviser Mokhber said on social media that the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened until Iran’s conditions are met.
