▲ Trump Strait
U.S. President Donald Trump posted a Middle East map on his social media on the 26th local time, which renames the Strait of Hormuz to the "TRUMP STRAIT."
This marks President Trump's first reaction since Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi proposed on the 24th, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, that if the United States lifts its maritime blockade, grants exemptions from sanctions on Iranian oil exports, and implements a ceasefire across all fronts, Iran would resume negotiations regarding the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear program within seven days.
It is interpreted that by posting this map, President Trump has signaled his refusal to recognize Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz and has rejected the Iranian side's proposal.
Previously, President Trump has asserted U.S. control over the strait, including posting a map in August that labeled the Strait of Hormuz as "New U.S. Territory."
