Trump had first shared the same image on August 18, after previously declaring that he could soon claim the Strait of Hormuz as US territory. Speaking at a police academy on Long Island on August 14, Trump had said, “Pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States.”
Trump has announced an aggressive new campaign of "unprecedented economic warfare and isolation" against Iran, shifting the strategy away from direct military combat as the conflict approaches its six-month mark. Dubbed "Economic D-Day," the operation aims to completely choke off Iran's remaining financial lifelines

Speaking at the 31st general assembly of the Islamic Association of Iranian Medical Community, Pezeshkian defended the MoU as “honourable and valuable.” He said that it had been reached through unity in the Supreme National Security Council and that everyone involved had defended it firmly, and suggested that ending the war while Iran was strong and powerful was the right course. He also noted that the world recognised Iran's victory and saw the United States as "detested" for attacking schools, hospitals and infrastructure in violation of all norms. He stressed that this did not mean Iran would ever submit to aggression. "We will never bow to bullying. We will stand until our last breath and deliver a crushing response," he said.
