In a recent Truth Social post, U.S President Donald Trump claimed that Iran has entered a “State of Collapse” and is urgently seeking to reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. The statement, shared on April 28, 2026, comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and growing concerns over global energy supply routes.
According to Trump, Iranian officials have communicated their desire to “open the Hormuz Strait as soon as possible” while they work through what he described as a leadership crisis. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical oil transit chokepoints, with a significant portion of global crude shipments passing through the narrow waterway daily.
Trump added that he believes Iran will be able to “figure out their leadership situation,” suggesting a possible transition or internal restructuring within the country’s political system. However, he did not provide further details or evidence to support the claim.
So far, there has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding the claims made in the post. Experts caution that such statements should be treated carefully until verified by independent or governmental sources.
