Donald Trump assured this Friday that the Strait of Hormuz is open for the passage of trade. The president of the United States has raised a new possibility of entering Iran and extracting its enriched uranium with excavators in a possible partnership with the Islamic republic.
“Iran has just announced that the Strait of Hormuz is completely open and ready,” Trump said during a speech in Arizona, at an event for the conservative organization Turning Point. The president indicated that they will enter the Middle Eastern country with excavators to take the “nuclear dust” to the United States, in reference to enriched uranium and said that this will be possible with an alliance with Tehran.
However, his speech clashes with the intentions announced by Iran, which has repeated on several occasions that it will not renounce civil purposes such as nuclear energy.
Likewise, the Republican repeated that the blockade that the US armed forces maintain in front of Iran’s ports will remain active until a “100%” agreement is signed. At the beginning of the day, Trump responded to media outlets who were there that in-person talks to reach an agreement could happen this weekend.
Hormuz “won’t stay open” if US blockade continues
The speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohamed Baqer Alibafwarned this Wednesday that the Strait of Hormuz “will not remain open” if the US blockade against Iranian ports on one of the world’s main energy routes continues. “With the continuation of the blockade, the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open,” Qalibaf said on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
Qalibaf has also criticized the statements of the American presidente, Donald Trumpby claiming that he made “seven false statements in one hour” about the Strait of Hormuz and the negotiations, without specifying which statements he was referring to. “With these lies they did not win the war and, without a doubt, they will not achieve anything in the negotiations either,” said the Iranian president, who led his country’s delegation in last Saturday’s negotiations with the United States in Islamabad.
Qalibaf stressed that the conditions of passage through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil transits, will be determined by “the reality on the ground, not by social networks.”
