Claim 5: “The U.S., not Iran, is in control of the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump said Friday”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction in the evidence. Flipboard sources claim Trump said the US is in control of the Strait of Hormuz, whereas The Hindu reports that Trump claimed Iran has an 'effective stranglehold' on the channel, which contradicts the claim of US control.
