“President Donald Trump escalated pressure on Tehran with a new looming deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz”
DISPUTED
The Wikipedia entries reference events in 2026 (e.g., the 2026 Iran war and Strait of Hormuz campaign), which occurred after Donald Trump left office in 2021. The claim attributes the deadline to Trump, but the evidence shows the deadline was set in 2026, long after his presidency. This directly contradicts the claim.
