Trump has suggested renaming the Strait of Hormuz after himself, a taunt aimed at Iran that adds heat to an already tense standoff over the world's most important oil route.

• The post on Truth Social floated calling it the "Trump Strait" and claimed the waterway is now under U.S. control.
• It reads as a jab at Iran, which has long threatened to close the strait during conflicts.
• Roughly a fifth of the world's oil moves through the passage, so anything that raises tension there can move oil prices.
• The claim of American control over the strait is the bigger story than the name itself.

Outlook: The name is unlikely to stick, but the posturing points to more friction with Iran over the waterway in the weeks ahead.
