President Trump admits there are no negotiations with Iran over the Strait of Ormuz despite previous claims.

President Trump acknowledged that there are no active negotiations with Iran regarding the control of the Strait of Ormuz, correcting previous statements made by the administration. The Iranian government and the Revolutionary Guard have repeatedly denied the president's earlier claims. To clarify the situation, Trump published a map of the Strait of Ormuz on Truth Social, presenting it as US territory. This strategic zone is vital for global energy trade, with approximately 20% of the world's oil consumption passing through it. During an interview with Fox News, Trump threatened Oman with a bombing for its role in the negotiations. The administration's shift in posture reflects the difficulties the president is facing in the conflict with war with Iran. This recognition comes as the US midterm elections approach on November 3rd. While the administration announced the map, the shift highlights the strategic importance of the region and the president's evolving stance on the Iranian conflict.
