The Strait of Hormuz is in international waters, sandwiched between the coasts of Iran and Oman.
Tehran's forces effectively closed the strait — through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s traded oil supplies passed before the war — after Israel and the US attacked Iran on 28 February.
Top Iranian negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said in comments published by state media that the strait would remain shut until the U.S. met the conditions of an interim deal signed with Iran in June.
Trump suggests in speech that 'pretty soon I'll be declaring' Hormuz strait a U.S. territory
