Trump Posts Map Labeling Strait of Hormuz 'Trump Strait'
US President Donald Trump shared an image of the Persian Gulf renaming the Strait of Hormuz as 'Trump Strait' amid ongoing maritime tensions with Iran.
US President Donald Trump has posted a map of the Persian Gulf on Truth Social in which the Strait of Hormuz is labeled "Trump Strait", according to reports by The Times of Israel and Bulgarian outlet Dnevnik.
The post appeared shortly after Iran proposed a framework to reopen the strategic waterway within a week, conditional on demands presented to Washington. The strait serves as a vital maritime corridor through which a significant share of global oil and energy shipments transit, and severe shipping disruptions have sparked broad international tension.
Further official comment from the White House regarding the Iranian offer or the published map has not yet been released.
