Tehran asserted on Thursday that the Strait of Hormuz is 'under Iran's control and management' in response to comments made by President Trump. Trump had stated on his Truth Social platform that the U.S. has 'total control' over the waterway and expressed confidence that the U.S. would 'keep it.'
In addition to the control claims, Iran has raised concerns regarding an oil spill in the Strait of Hormuz, which they allege originated from a foreign bulk carrier. They are demanding compensation for the environmental impact of the spill, which has reportedly affected Qeshm Island.
The situation highlights ongoing tensions in the region, particularly regarding the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil shipments.
德黑兰在特朗普评论后声称对霍尔木兹海峡的控制权
德黑兰在周四声称霍尔木兹海峡'在伊朗的控制和管理之下'，这是对特朗普总统评论的回应。特朗普在他的Truth Social平台上表示，美国对该水道拥有'完全控制权'，并表达了美国将'保留'该海峡的信心。
除了控制权的声明，伊朗还对霍尔木兹海峡的一起石油泄漏事件表示关切，他们声称泄漏源自一艘外国散货船。伊朗要求对该泄漏造成的环境影响进行赔偿，报告称该事件已影响到凯什姆岛。
这一情况突显了该地区持续的紧张局势，尤其是霍尔木兹海峡作为全球石油运输重要通道的战略意义。
