US President Donald Trump has stated that Iran has communicated to the United States that it is in a "state of collapse" and is demanding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible.
In a post on the Truth Social platform, Trump writes:
“Iran has just informed us that it is in a ‘state of collapse’. They want us to ‘open the Strait of Hormuz’ as soon as possible, while they try to clarify the situation with their leadership (which I believe they will achieve!). Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The statement comes at a time of heightened tensions in the region, while the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz remains essential for global energy trade.
