President Trump announced on Tuesday that Iran has purportedly confessed to being in a “state of collapse” due to the intense pressure exerted by the United States. According to Trump, Iran is eager to have the Strait of Hormuz reopened.

Since April 13, the U.S. has enforced a comprehensive blockade, effectively preventing Iranian ships from navigating through this vital maritime passage.
