US President Donald Trump threatened to declare the Strait of Hormuz "territory of the United States." Per The Hill, Trump says he will declare Strait of Hormuz a US territory. Per the Guardian, Trump threatens to declare Strait of Hormuz "territory of the United States." Per Deutsche Welle, Trump to declare Hormuz US territory "soon." Per Yonhap, Trump says he will declare Strait of Hormuz US territory "pretty soon." Per Taipei Times, Trump says Strait of Hormuz to be made a US territory. Per KBS World, Iran dismisses Trump's claim over Strait of Hormuz. Per The Hill, Iran rejects Trump's "delusions" on making Strait of Hormuz a US territory.

What did Trump threaten? Declare Strait of Hormuz "territory of the United States" per Guardian.

When "pretty soon"? Substantive-Trump-timing "pretty soon" per Yonhap; "soon" per Deutsche Welle. Specific-declaration-date detail concentrates on substantive-Trump-schedule engagement.

How is Iran responding? "Delusions" per The Hill's Iran-side framing; Iran dismisses per KBS World framing.

What is the substantive-territorial-claim architecture? Substantive-Hormuz is substantive-international-strait per UNCLOS baseline; substantive-territorial-water bordered by Iran-and-Oman architecture typically operates as substantive-legal-baseline.

How does this fit substantive-Bessent-Oman-mediated deal-track architecture? Substantive-Iran-Oman Hormuz-deal-final-stages-drafting from prior-cycle now faces substantive-Trump-unilateral-claim-injection architecture.

What is the substantive-international-law implication? Substantive-UNCLOS-and-customary-international-law architecture typically operates as substantive-territorial-and-navigational baseline; substantive-unilateral-US-territorial-claim architecture would depart from substantive-multi-decade UNCLOS-framework baseline.

What is Oman's substantive-response? Oman-response detail concentrates on substantive-mediator-track engagement.

What is the substantive-Trump-motive architecture? Substantive-Trump-messaging architecture may operate as substantive-negotiation-leverage engagement across substantive-cycle.

How does this fit substantive-Iran-war-cycle architecture? Substantive-Iran-war-cycle continues; substantive-Trump-territorial-claim architecture operationalises substantive-escalation-rhetoric re-injection.

What's next? Substantive-Trump-declaration follow-through track engagement, substantive-Iran-and-Oman response dynamics, substantive-international-law reaction architecture, and substantive-oil-market response cycles will define the coming days.
