Hindustan Times Who Really Controls Hormuz? Iran Showcases Captured Vessels As Trump Claims ‘Total Control’ | Watch

Tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issues a stark warning over an expanding maritime blockade and increasing military presence in the region. He claims total operational control over key sea routes and criticizes Iran’s IRGC naval activities, describing them as piracy and threats to global shipping. In response, Iranian state media broadcasts footage of seized commercial tankers and naval inspections conducted by fast-boat units near the strait. The situation highlights rising confrontation between the United States and Iran over strategic waterways, raising global concerns about energy security, trade stability, and potential military escalation.
