Trump Labels Strait of Hormuz 'Trump Strait' Amid Ongoing Tensions

US President Donald Trump has posted an image of the Strait of Hormuz on Twitter, labeling it 'Trump Strait', in a move seen as provocative. The label came after Iran proposed a deal to open the waterway within a week if certain conditions are met.

The development comes amidst ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, with Saudi Arabia announcing that it has intercepted another missile launched by Iranian-backed Houthis in neighboring Yemen.

Iran's President Hassan Rouhani left New York after attending the UN gathering of world leaders, where indirect talks between Iran and the US took place. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway for global oil supplies, with Trump's move seen as an attempt to exert influence over the region.
