US President Donald Trump has said on Truth Social that Iran is “having a very hard time figuring out who their leader is!”

“The infighting is between the ‘hardliners’, who have been losing badly on the battlefield, and the ‘Moderates’ who are not very moderate at all (but gaining respect!), is crazy!” he adds, reiterating that the US “controls” the Strait of Hormuz and no ship can enter or leave without the approval of the US Navy.
