Reiterated President Donald Trump's confirmation that the United States maintains "complete" control over the Strait of Hormuz, expressing his belief that Washington will retain this control.

He added in a post on the Truth Social platform that the U.S. maritime blockade of the strait has become known as an "iron wall," stating Iran lacks the ability to confront or alter it.

Trump said Iran has lost its main military capabilities, pointing out it no longer possesses effective naval or air forces, while noting that what remains of its forces suffer from unpaid salaries, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has suffered heavy losses and is "retreating and fleeing".

He questioned the Iranian leadership's ability to govern the country, saying Iran is facing a severe financial and economic crisis, describing its internal situation as "devastating".

Trump accused Tehran of relying on what he called "false news" and media deception, along with soaring inflation, which he said has reached levels up to 300% and is heading toward further deterioration.

Trump concluded by saying Iran has become "all talk and no action," adding it no longer represents the bully in the Middle East, ending his post with the words: "Praise God."
