‘Mojtaba is 90% destroyed’: Donald Trump makes bold claim amid rising US-Iran tensions, hinting at another blockade of Hormuz


Once again the geopolitical situation between America and Iran has become extremely tense. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has given a sensational statement claiming that Mojtaba Khamenei, associated with Iran’s top leadership, has now been 90 percent eliminated. Speaking to Fox News, Trump alleged that Iran has already lost its navy, air force, air defense system and top military commanders, severely crippling its military capability. Recently, there were speculations around the world about Mojtaba’s absence at the funeral of former Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and now Trump’s statement has come amid the news of American attacks and his serious injuries.

America and Iran face to face again on the Strait of Hormuz

Almost half of the 60-day interim agreement between the two countries has passed, but instead of discussing a permanent solution, missile and drone attacks have intensified in the Gulf region. US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Monday confirmed the targeting of several targets, including radar centers and air defense equipment. On the other hand, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has rejected all these claims of America and warned that the Strait of Hormuz is completely under their control and they will not tolerate any external military interference.

Trump’s announcement: Strict blockade will be imposed on Iran in Hormuz

Amidst this tense environment, President Donald Trump has announced through social media that America is going to re-impose the blockade against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. According to Trump, there will be a complete ban on the movement of Iranian ships and up to 20 percent duty or tax will be imposed on other commercial ships passing through there for safe navigation and trade. This new development has deepened fears of re-ignition of war between global markets and international shipping companies.
