A big news is coming out from West Asia. For the first time, two American warships have crossed Hormuz amid the ongoing tension with Iran. US President Donald Trump has made this claim. This step has been taken at a time when efforts for a ceasefire between America and Iran are going on, but the tension on the ground is not showing any signs of reducing.
We are doing a favor to countries like China-Trump
US President Donald Trump shared a post on the social media platform ‘Truth Social’. Trump wrote in his own style that America has started the process of clearing this important sea route. He said that we are doing a favor to countries like China, Japan and France, because they do not have the courage or will to do this work themselves.
Trump claimed that Iran is losing badly in this war. However, he also acknowledged that Iranian sea mines still remain a major threat along the route. He wrote that Iran now has only one option left if a ship hits their sea mines.
warship entered without warning
According to reports, when these American guided-missile destroyers crossed the Gulf, no information was given to Tehran. The Wall Street Journal quoted US officials as saying that the operation was completed without any hindrance. The thing to note is that after the bombing of Iran started on 28 February 2026, this route was completely closed. According to the terms of the agreement, it was necessary to open it, but this time America has made its strength felt by sending its ships without coordination.
Iran flatly rejected American claims
Contrary to the claims of the US media and President Trump, Iran’s state broadcaster has clarified, quoting senior military officials, that no US warship has crossed Hormuz. Iran termed these reports as completely baseless and claimed that its military has closely monitored the strait and there was no such movement there. Iran has claimed that they are fully prepared to protect their maritime borders.
Peace efforts continue
One-fifth of the world’s total crude oil passes through this Strait of Hormuz. Iran had blockaded this route since the beginning of the tension, which is having a negative impact on the global economy. Meanwhile, talks have started in Pakistan between senior officials of America and Iran, so that this bloody conflict can be ended. Trump also indicated that empty oil tankers from around the world are now turning to the US to buy oil.
