Trump's claim that the Strait of Hormuz is U.S. territory is a fantasy with no basis in international law — the signed MoU explicitly puts management of the strait in Iran's hands. The U.S. violated that agreement by resuming aerial assaults and imposing a naval blockade, making America the aggressor here, not Iran. Blocking a global energy chokepoint while pretending to own it isn't strength; it's a dangerous delusion.
