“US President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that the Strait of Hormuz will soon be open to navigation.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided contains Wikipedia entries describing a future event (March 2026) where the US began an aerial campaign to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which was previously blocked by Iran. This specific claim about Trump reiterating this claim is not directly supported by the evidence, but the evidence does confirm the context of the Strait of Hormuz being a point of conflict related to US/Israel actions and Iran's closure. Since the evidence only provides context from Wikipedia regarding a future event and does not mention Donald Trump reiterating this claim, it cannot be corroborated.
