President Donald Trump speaks during the Future Investment Initiative Summit in Miami, March 27, 2026. Mandel Ngan | AFP | Getty Images President Donald Trump on Friday winkingly referred to the Strait of Hormuz , the vital oil -shipping route and a key choke point in the Iran war , as the "Strait of Trump." Iran has to "open up the Strait of Trump — I mean, Hormuz," the president said in a speech at the Future Investment Initiative in Miami, garnering laughs from the crowd. "Excuse me. I'm so sorry. Such a terrible mistake," he said, feigning apologetics before clarifying, "The fake news will say, 'He accidentally said' — No, there's no accidents with me, not too many. If there were, we'd have a major story." The comment came as the strait has emerged as a key source of conflict in the war, which is poised to enter its second month even as the U.S. boasts that it has "obliterated" Iran's military. Iran's continued ability to effectively block the strait — blocking the path that normally ferries 20 million oil barrels per day — has contributed to a historic disruption of global energy supply and prices.

Warren rips Federal Reserve chair pick Warsh: 'You have learned nothing from your failures' Trump extends pause on attacking Iran energy facilities to April 6 On Monday, Trump floated the possibility that the strait could be controlled jointly by "me and the ayatollah" as part of a resolution to the war. Trump has since said that Iran is negotiating with the U.S. and is "begging" to make a deal, though Tehran has denied that any direct talks are taking place. The New York Post, citing sources, reported Friday evening that Trump is considering taking control of the strait and renaming it after himself, or calling it the "Strait of America," as when he previously sought to relabel ...

US Deploys Ukrainian-Style Drone Boat In Iran War As AI Weapons Race Accelerates The Department of War confirmed to Reuters that it deployed Ukrainian-style drone boats to the Middle East as part of Operation Epic Fury against Iran. This move signals that the DoW is quickly learning a major lesson from the four-year Russia-Ukraine war: inexpensive autonomous systems, from drone boats to kamikaze drones, are necessary and are becoming core assets (very cheap) on the modern battlefield. Tim Hawkins, a DoW spokesperson for Central Command, told the outlet that the drone boats deployed in the operation were built by Baltimore-based BlackSea and are known as the Global Autonomous Reconnaissance Craft, or GARC. He said the drone boats are being used for reconnaissance missions. "U.S. forces continue to employ unmanned systems in the Middle East region, including surface drone assets like the GARC. This platform, in particular, has successfully logged over 450 underway hours and more than 2,200 nautical miles during maritime patrols in support of Operation Epic Fury," Hawkins said. BlackSea's high-speed drone boat is described as a modular, autonomous, and remotely operated USV (unmanned surface vehicle) built for missions such as ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance), communications relay, mine countermeasures, survey, interdiction, and potentially strike roles. The DoW's push for inexpensive, scalable autonomous air, ground, and maritime systems has only been reinforced by Operation Epic Fury and appears to take a page from Ukraine's playbook in its war of attrition against Russia, where FPVs and killer ground bots have dominated 'no man's land.' In addition to drone boats, U.S. forces have deployed kamikaze drones based on the Iranian Shahed-136 attack drone - yet another acknowledgment by the DoW that autonomous systems are the future of warfare. None of this should surprise readers, as we have outlined how four years of rapid development in war technolo...
