Iran continued to block the shipping of oil and natural gas through the Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman. In recent days, President Donald Trump expressed concerns about "the Hormuz Strait" on his Truth Social social media platform.
"Iran has just informed us that they are in a 'State of Collapse.' They want us to 'Open the Hormuz Strait,' as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!)" Trump wrote April 28. A day later, the president shared a Truth Social user's post referring to the crucial shipping channel as "STRAIT OF TRUMP."
