A spokesperson for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards challenged U.S. President Donald Trump to deploy U.S. naval vessels to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian state media reported on Friday.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has said it maintains full control of the Strait of Hormuz, where United States President Donald Trump has said he is prepared to deploy the navy to escort tankers.

A spokesperson for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards challenged U.S. President Donald Trump to deploy U.S. naval vessels to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian state media reported on Friday.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the U.S. Navy could begin escorting commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz 'as soon as reasonable,' reinforcing President Donald Trump’s public statements that the United States is prepared to protect energy shipments through the strategic waterway.

The U.S. war against Iran, initiated by President Donald Trump under 'Operation Epic Fury,' has triggered a surge in oil prices, directly impacting American consumers. Trump's strategy aimed to stabilize the economy ahead of the November midterms by lowering living costs, particularly through oil price control. However, by igniting a conflict in the Middle East, he risks causing inflation, similar to what hurt his predecessor, Joe Biden.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they control the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route for oil and gas, and any vessels seeking to pass through the waterway risk damage from missiles or stray drones.
