The Hormuz Bomb
The article comments on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important maritime routes for oil transportation. The piece reports that the President of the United States, Donald Trump, is said to have declared that the strait belongs to America.
However, the text underlines that effective control of the situation remains in Iran's hands. The opinion author argues that Tehran does not intend to give up the power of influence it holds over this strategic waterway.
The article thus suggests that despite Trump's statements, the reality on the ground is different, with Iran maintaining the capacity to control or threaten passage through the strait.
