Give Us a Little More Time, We Will Open the Strait of Hormuz and Take Control of the Oil: Trump’s Fresh Claim

Washington) — US President Donald Trump has once again issued a strong statement on the Strait of Hormuz, claiming: “Give us a little more time, we will open the Strait of Hormuz and seize control of the oil.” He asserted that America can force open this critical waterway using its military power.
President Trump warned Iran that if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened immediately, the US will not hesitate to target Iranian oil facilities and energy infrastructure. He emphasized that “America can open the Strait of Hormuz through its military strength.”
Pressure is mounting on the Trump administration to end the war with Iran. Trump claimed that Iran’s new leadership has reached out seeking a ceasefire, but he made it clear that any end to hostilities depends on the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He also urged allied nations heavily dependent on oil passing through the strait to “build some courage” and take the lead in securing it themselves, famously saying countries should “go to the Strait and just take it.”
Analysts note that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz — through which nearly 20% of global oil supply passes — has caused oil prices to surge dramatically, directly contributing to the sharp hike in petrol and diesel prices in countries like Pakistan.
Trump reiterated that the United States does not rely on oil from the Strait but stressed its importance for other nations. He warned that failure to open the waterway soon would result in intensified military action against Iran, potentially pushing the country “back to the Stone Ages” if necessary.
This latest rhetoric comes amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and the broader Middle East conflict that has disrupted global energy supplies.
