Trump asked who would control Hormuz: Maybe me and the new Ajatothah

Speaking before the presidential plane left Florida for Memphis, Trump answered journalists' questions about the future of the main shipping route.

The “will be opened very soon, if this works”, Trump said when asked about the Hormuz Strait.

While asked who would control the strait and if Iran still had influence over the flow of oil, Trump said control could be shared.

“will be checked jointly”, he said.

Maybe me. Aiothah and I, whoever is the next Ajatothlah”, the American president added.

According to him, such an agreement would include “a very serious form of changing regime”, noting that the Iranian leadership had suffered serious losses.

The “all in the regime were killed”, Trump said.

Otherwise, Hormuz Strait, a key sea route through which about a fifth of world oil passes, has been practically closed to most international traffic since the beginning of the war, causing global disruptions in energy markets. /Telegraphy/
