Trump proposes renaming Strait of Hormuz after himself amid US-Iran tensions

US President Donald Trump has suggested renaming the Strait of Hormuz the 'Trump Strait', framing it as an assertion of American dominance over the critical waterway. The proposal comes as US military forces have been actively engaging Iranian targets amid escalating tensions between the two countries. American forces have also conducted operations to clear Iranian mines and protect commercial shipping in the region. A naval blockade on Iranian ports remains in effect, reflecting the deepening conflict between Washington and Tehran.
