Strait of Hormuz: A Tale of Two Narratives The Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea, has been at the center of a heated debate between Iran and the United States.
Iranian officials recently declared that the strait is "under Iran's control and management," while President Trump countered by claiming that the US has "total control" over the waterway.
The assertion that the Strait of Hormuz is under Iranian control reflects the country's long held concerns about national sovereignty and security.
