Trump confirmed that there is no dialogue with Tehran and showed a map with the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. territory

The president Donald Trump confirmed on Tuesday that the Strait of Hormuz remains open and operational, and added that the U.S. naval blockade against the Islamic regime "is still in full force and effect."

The president also wrote that "there are no ongoing or scheduled conversations or dialogues" with Tehran and stated that all mines in the strategic waterway have been removed or detonated.

Yesterday marked two months since the memorandum of understanding between the two warring countries was signed on June 17, a pact that quickly crumbled amid disagreements over control of the strait and ceasefire violations by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard terrorists. In fact, Trump had already declared the agreement broken since July 7.

Iran cut normal traffic through the strait after the U.S. and Israel launched military operations against the Islamic dictatorship on February 28, but some commercial traffic has continued to flow through the waterway on a route implemented by Trump that has military protection for the ships, contradicting Tehran's statements that the strait is closed and that its forces maintain full control over it.

This morning, as the war with Iran persists without resolution, the Republican leader posted a map on his Truth Social account showing the Strait of Hormuz as "new U.S. territory" after he raised the idea a few days ago.
