US President Donald Trump has revived his controversial idea of renaming the Strait of Hormuz as the “Trump Strait,” even as tensions with Iran continue to escalate and shipping through the strategic waterway remains heavily disrupted. Trump has claimed that the United States now has control over the waterway and suggested that it could therefore be renamed. The White House even amplified the proposal with a map labelling the Strait of Hormuz as “Trump Strait.” But can Trump actually rename it? The Strait of Hormuz lies between Iran and Oman, with both countries exercising sovereignty over their respective territorial waters. A US decision to use a new name would not force Iran, Oman, international organisations, shipping companies or mapmakers to adopt it. Meanwhile, the real crisis is unfolding at sea. Shipping through the strait has plunged dramatically, with Kpler data showing just six ships crossed on Tuesday compared with around 138 vessels typically passing through in a 24-h
