Trump Proposes Renaming Strait of Hormuz to 'Trump Strait' Amid Conflict

In a social media post on September 2, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested renaming the Strait of Hormuz as the "Trump Strait," claiming the waterway is now under American control. The statement follows recent U.S. strikes on IRGC mine-laying capabilities and comes amid an ongoing war with Iran that began in February 2026. The move has been characterized by analysts as a signal of continued U.S. assertiveness over the strategic maritime route.
