President Trump stated that there are no plans for negotiations or dialogue with Iran and that the maritime blockade measures against Iran are effective. Even after the deadline of the armistice agreement reached in June, President Trump rejected the possibility of extending the MOU and demanded Iran's surrender. He claimed that the Strait of Hormuz is open and operational, and all mines have been removed or detonated. Furthermore, President Trump strengthened his claim to control over the Strait of Hormuz by posting an image of a map on social media that marked the strait as new US territory.
