Trump Iran Comments Spark Debate Over Strait of Hormuz Crisis | PakCan News
During a tense exchange, a reporter pressed Donald Trump with a sharp question: “Did you underestimate Iran?” Trump firmly pushed back, insisting that he had not underestimated Tehran’s strength. Instead, he claimed the United States had the capability to strike Iran’s key infrastructure — including bridges and power systems — within just two days if necessary.
But critics quickly turned the statement into a biting counterpoint. They argued that if such overwhelming power exists, then why has the Strait of Hormuz remained a major challenge for more than 82 days? The narrow waterway, one of the world’s most important oil routes, has become a symbol of pressure, patience, and geopolitical limits.
The criticism grew even sharper after Trump’s visit to China, where the crisis reportedly remained part of the wider global conversation. For opponents, the issue is not just military strength, but results. Their message is blunt: bold claims are easy, but reopening one of the world’s most strategic sea routes is proving far more complicated than words alone.
