# US president Donald Trump has suggested renaming the Strait of Hormuz as ‘Trump Strait’. This comes as Washington and Iran have resumed strikes and remain deadlocked on the Strait. Tehran claims the right to control the strategic waterway; however, the US says it is an international waterway. At least 26 vessels have been attacked while travelling through the Strait of Hormuz since June 17. In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that the Strait is now under the full control of the US.
