United States President Donald Trump on Friday said he would “soon” declare the Strait of Hormuz waterway part of US territory, claiming that Iran was being heavily defeated.
“Pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States. It’s true,” he said with a chuckle during a political rally at a police academy in New York.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said in an interview published on Saturday that Iran has not decided to resume talks with the US, adding that messages being exchanged via Qatar and Pakistan do not amount to negotiations.
Araqchi told Iranian news outlet Shahrara News that separate talks with Oman were focused on defining a sea route through the Strait of Hormuz, while the US would have to meet conditions for shipping to resume through the waterway.

Also speaking on Saturday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stressed that the Strait of Hormuz “will remain Iranian”.
“The Strait of Hormuz has been Iranian, is Iranian, and will remain Iranian,” Gharibabadi said on X, adding that the route “will be opened and closed only at Iran’s command”.
