President Donald Trump suggested declaring the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory during his political rally in Garden City, New York. He claimed that Iran's blockade on oil tanker traffic is 'very evil' and justified the continued high fuel prices.

The average U.S. price of a gallon of gasoline was about $4.08 on Friday, up 29% from a year earlier, according to the American Automobile Association.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi posted on X that 'This strait will be opened and closed only under Iran's command,' rejecting Trump's claim of declaring it a U.S. territory.
