        "summary": "US President Donald Trump has stated that Washington is taking steps to control the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing conflict with Iran, claiming Tehran desperately seeks a deal. This comes as the Middle East tensions escalate following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran that killed over 1,340 people, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, prompting Iranian retaliatory attacks that have disrupted the vital energy shipping route and driven up global oil prices. The closure of the strait to enemy vessels by Iran's Revolutionary Guard has heightened global supply chain concerns and economic impacts.",
        "content": "<p>US President Donald Trump has said that Washington has begun taking\nsteps to control the Strait of Hormuz amid the war with Iran. Trump\nclaimed that Tehran \u201cvery much\u201d wants a deal with Washington.<\/p>\n<p>This was reported by Anadolu Agency on Monday (30\/3\/2026) and stated\nby Trump in an interview with Israeli media outlet Channel 14 on Sunday\n(29\/3) local time.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if the US is capable of controlling the strategic\nwaterway, Trump replied: \u201cYes, of course, it\u2019s already happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He did not provide further details on the specific steps taken by\nWashington.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also highlighted what he described as close coordination with\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe coordination is very tight. We have a good relationship. It\ncouldn\u2019t be better,\u201d the US President said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that he believes Iran \u201cvery much\u201d wants a deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they want it very much. Who wouldn\u2019t want a deal if their\ncountry is being destroyed, right?\u201d Trump stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Middle East region has heated up since the US and Israel launched\nlarge-scale joint attacks on Iran on 28 February. A total of at least\n1,340 people have been killed due to the series of US-Israeli strikes\nacross various regions of Iran, including the country\u2019s top leader,\nAyatollah Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n<p>Iran retaliated with waves of missile and drone attacks on targets in\nIsrael and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s retaliatory strikes caused damage and injuries in Israel and\nthe Gulf states. At least 13 US troops in Gulf countries were killed due\nto the series of Iranian retaliatory attacks. More than 300 other US\ntroops were injured.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway for global\nenergy supplies, has also been affected by the ongoing war. Crossing\nactivities in the Strait of Hormuz have been effectively restricted\nsince early March.<\/p>\n<p>This has triggered global disruptions, increasing shipping costs and\npushing global oil prices higher.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard has stated that the Strait of Hormuz is\nclosed to ships sailing to and from ports owned by Iran\u2019s \u201cenemies.\u201d<\/p>",
