In a threat to claim sovereignty over the critical chokepoint that has been shut down by Iran, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday posted a map on his Truth Social, depicting the Strait of Hormuz as "new US territory".
This is not the first time Trump has raised the idea of a US takeover. On Friday, he said in a light-hearted manner that he would soon declare it to be US territory. Iran quickly responded and said that the strait "will remain Iranian".
Trump has threatened to annex foreign territory in the past too.
Since returning to power in 2025, he has threatened to make Canada the 51st US state and seize Greenland and has even alluded to taking control of the Gaza Strip without following through on any of these threats.

STUNNING: Salal Dam Lighted Up In Tricolor For Independence Day 2026.
๐ฅIt is very important from Current Affairs perspective !
Let me tell you about SALAI DAM :-
Located on River Chenab.
Salal & Indus Waters Treaty
Under the Indus Waters Treaty (1960):
Western Rivers: Indus, Jhelum and Chenab
Eastern Rivers: Ravi, Beas and Sutlej.
The Western Rivers were allocated primarily for Pakistan's use.However, India has certain permitted uses, including hydroelectric power generation. Hence, India can construct run-of-the-river hydroelectric projects on the Western Rivers subject to treaty conditions.
Indus Water Treaty was asked in ACIO mains 2025. Hence do prepare it holistically.

One special advice to all IB SA selected candidates : DO NOT JOIN ANY GROUP CLAIMING TO HAVE SELECTED STUDENTS ONLY. I cannot think the need behind this. Enjoy the remaining days ~2-3 months and utilize these days effectively for ACIO 2026. It's not SSC or other exams where you're free to glamorize your success.
Use some reasoning. They have asked you for not claiming your success over social media , then why are you joining any group claiming selected students ? Doesn't it mean that you are saying I am selected ?
My friend do not be emotional, be pragmatic. Focus on celebration or prepare for ACIO or other exams. Don't push yourself into any danger.
It was my duty to warn you rest it's upto you.
For any concern you are free to whatsapp us at 9204485070.
