Trump called Iran's blocking of the Strait of Hormuz unfair

Iran's blocking of the Strait of Hormuz is a dishonest move. This was announced on March 17 by US President Donald Trump.

"It's not even fair on their part. We've already won!", — said Trump in a video posted on his social network Truth Social.

Trump was outraged by Iran's actions and said that Tehran has no right to block the Strait of Hormuz. On the same day, Kevin Hassett, head of the American National Economic Council, announced that the situation with oil transportation through the waters of the Strait of Hormuz was under the control of the US authorities.

In his opinion, the Strait of Hormuz may be under Iranian control for several months.
