Trump Posts Map Renaming Strait of Hormuz to 'Trump Strait'

U.S. President Donald Trump posted a Middle East map on his social media on the 26th local time, depicting the Strait of Hormuz renamed as 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, exempts Iranian oil export sanctions, and implements a ceasefire across all fronts, Iran would resume negotiations regarding the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear program within seven days.

This post by President Trump is interpreted as a signal that he rejects Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz and also refuses the Iranian proposal.

Previously, President Trump has asserted U.S. control over the strait, including posting a map in August labeling the Strait of Hormuz as "new U.S. territory."
