Digest
02 SEP 2026 — Donald Trump proposed the name “Trump Strait” on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after US strikes hit targets in Iran and killed at least four people, including two children, at a wedding in Sirik. Trump said the waterway was under USA control. Iran responded to Tuesday’s attack by launching missiles at US bases in the region, while oil prices rose by about 4 percent. US officials have repeatedly said the Strait of Hormuz is open and that millions of barrels of oil pass through it daily, but Iran says the waterway is closed and under its control. Saudi Arabia accused Iran of striking an oil tanker, killing two people. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations has reported attacks on vessels in Hormuz almost daily. US petrol prices reached $4.12 per gallon on Wednesday, up from less than $3 before the war began on February 28. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had promised the conflict would last six weeks, but it entered its seventh month last week. Iran later fired missiles and drones at US bases in Bahrain, Jordan and Iraq. Trump previously called the waterway “American territory” and renamed Lake Ontario “Lake America.”
