Le président américain Donald Trump stated that the United States would be able to take control of the Strait of Hormuz "with a little more time," amid rising tensions related to the conflict with Iran.
In a message posted on his Truth Social network, Donald Trump claimed that Washington could "open the Strait of Hormuz, take the oil and make a fortune," suggesting a possible intervention to secure this strategic sea route.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most crucial waterways for oil transport, with approximately one-fifth of global consumption passing through it. Its disruption, linked to the ongoing conflict, has already led to a significant increase in energy prices.
These statements come as the US administration faces increasing pressure to find a quick solution to the war against Iran, which is affecting global markets and regional stability.
The prospect of direct US control of the strait raises questions about the geopolitical consequences of such an initiative, particularly in terms of military escalation and the reaction of regional actors.
In an already explosive context, these remarks could exacerbate international tensions, as securing this vital maritime route remains a central issue for many countries dependent on energy supplies.
