Trump: We Strongly Support Iraq's PM-designate, Strait of Hormuz is Completely Closed

US President Donald Trump revealed details of his phone call with Iraq's Prime Minister-designate Ali Al-Zaidi today, Friday (May 1, 2026). In a press statement, Trump said, "I spoke with Iraq's Prime Minister-designate Ali Al-Zaidi, and we strongly support him in his duties, and he won with our help." On the Iranian file, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the latest proposal for an agreement with Tehran, describing the Iranian leadership as "disjointed and suffering from a lack of internal communication." He added that Washington is making intensive efforts and communicating with the Pakistani side, expecting an announcement following a "final offer" to Iran. The US President affirmed that "the Strait of Hormuz is 100% closed," pointing to the complete destruction of Iran's naval, air, and defense forces, and describing the imposed blockade as "amazing and tight." He noted that he does not require congressional authorization to continue military operations, considering the 60-day deadline to end hostilities "unconstitutional."
