Trump Claims Strait of Hormuz as US Territory; Iran Announces Fees with Oman

Trump shared a social media map labeling the Strait of Hormuz — conduit for one-fifth of global oil before the conflict — as "new US territory," telling a South Carolina crowd he views the waterway as American. Iran's new security council chief Rezaei said Tehran is discussing fees on the strait with Oman, contesting Washington's claim. A US naval blockade persists.
