Donald Trump proposes renaming Strait of Hormuz to ‘Trump Strait’

Former US President Donald Trump reiterated his proposal to rename the Strait of Hormuz during the first day of the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas. In his speech, Trump taunted Tehran, stating that he should gain something from the situation and suggested that the strategic waterway be renamed the 'Trump Strait.' These remarks repeat an idea he had proposed approximately one week earlier. The Jerusalem Post reported that these comments were made during the political event held on September 9, 2026.
