President Trump on Sunday called the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz "history's greatest," according to a report from The Hill, which said he made the remark in a post on Truth Social.
According to The Hill, Trump wrote in the post that Task Force Iron Gate was in full force and effect in Iran. The outlet described the task force as a recently formed staff of 20 members. The summary of the report available for this story cuts off before naming the body that formed the group, so who created it is not reported here.
The Hill also reported that Trump is mulling further strikes after the midterms. The summary does not say what those strikes would target, whether they are tied to the blockade, or when they might take place. It does not address those questions at all.
The remark about the blockade was Trump's own assessment, as The Hill relayed it, and the summary does not indicate what comparison or measure he was using. The Hill published its report on Monday, and its account is the only source for the facts in this story. Those facts have not been checked against other reporting for this article.
Readers who want the full account can find it in The Hill's original article. The Hill quoted from Trump's post, and this report has not independently viewed the post. Because the summary is partial, other wording in the post and any further detail about the task force cannot be reported here.
