Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz was “open,” withmillions of barrels of oil passing through the waterway each week, andexpressed a desire to declare it American territory.
Speaking to Fox News earlier today, Trump threatenedmilitary action against Oman if it interfered with US operations in Hormuz. “IfOman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them.”
Iranian authorities detained an oil tanker in the straitover alleged violations of maritime regulations. Citing shipping data, Iraniantelevision said the vessel was stopped and is now near Qeshm Island, withoutproviding further details.
