United States President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran is experiencing severe financial strain following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route.
In a post shared on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump stated that Iran was “collapsing financially” and urgently seeking the reopening of the vital maritime corridor. He added that the country was “starving for cash,” suggesting that economic pressure from ongoing restrictions is taking a heavy toll.
Trump further alleged that Tehran publicly supported the closure of the strait as a way to maintain political image, despite facing mounting economic challenges tied to what he described as a United States blockade of Iranian ports.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world most critical النفط shipping lanes, with a significant portion of global oil supply passing through it daily. Any disruption to traffic in the narrow waterway often raises concerns about global energy markets and economic ility.
While Iranian officials have not formally responded to the latest remarks, tensions between Washington and Tehran have remained high, particularly over sanctions and regional security issues.
Analysts note that statements like these could further escalate geopolitical tensions, especially if the situation around the Strait of Hormuz continues to affect international trade and energy flows.
