Trump said in August the U.S. has “total control of the Strait of Hormuz” He said it again on Sept 2 in this clip 👇 He keeps saying it

“Ship-tracking data shows that just 14 vessels on Tuesday crossed a waterway that routinely handled more than 130 a day ... Eleven of those ships took the route administered by Iran” - WSJ

“Tehran has managed to squelch traffic through the crucial energy chokepoint with relatively little military force … Iran doesn’t need to defeat the U.S. Navy. It just needs shipping companies, captains and insurers to fear that defying it could put their ships at risk” - WSJ

“The U.S.A. has total control over the Strait of Hormuz. I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT!,” the president said, “and there is nothing Iran can do about it.” He ended the post saying, “Praise be to Allah!” - WSJ

“The United Arab Emirates said Iran struck one of its ships on Saturday, following hits on three others last week.”
