Trump: Hormuz Strait Open, Iran Won't Get Nukes
US President Donald Trump said the Strait of Hormuz remains open and operational, emphasizing the continued movement of global energy supplies through one of the world's most critical maritime routes.
Speaking on the situation in the Middle East, Trump stated that oil shipments through the strategic waterway have remained strong, describing recent volumes as among the highest ever recorded.
"We're doing very well with respect to the Hormuz Strait. We took in more oil yesterday than has ever gone through the strait," Trump said.
The US President also reiterated his administration's longstanding position on Iran's nuclear ambitions, declaring that Iran "will never have a nuclear weapon."
The remarks come amid ongoing international attention on regional security, global energy markets, and concerns over potential disruptions to oil supplies passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint for global trade and energy transportation.
Trump's comments are likely to be closely watched by investors, policymakers, and international allies as developments in the Middle East continue to influence global markets and geopolitical dynamics.
