US President Trump said the United States has full control of the strait; oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz may not be entirely smooth.
Trump said talks with Iran may take place at some point. He said Iran must not possess nuclear weapons because they would use them. On Aug. 18 he posted on social media that there would be no talks or dialogue with Iran now or in the future.
Trump had earlier insisted the U.S. was negotiating with Iran, a claim Iranian officials have repeatedly denied.
