Iran-US war latest: Trump says Hormuz is a ‘very functioning Strait despite the odd rocket or drone’ in bizarre rant

Donald Trump claimed that the Strait of Hormuz is “very functional” despite the occasional rocket or drone attack in another bizarre rant on Wednesday. Speaking to Fox News, the US president repeated his claim that the waterway is “open” and had been fully demined despite continued attacks on ships. “It's a functioning Strait. Yes, every once in a while there'll be a drone or a rocket or something shot, but it is a very functioning Strait. A lot of oil is pouring out,” he said. His comments came as Oman and Iran said that an agreement on future control of the Strait had not yet been finalised. "The Strait of Hormuz belongs to Iran and the country of Oman. We have been in negotiations with ⁠Oman for about a month, and we have reached results that are acceptable to both sides," Hossein Moheb
