# Iran warns Trump over Hormuz claim, says fake intelligence dangerous 2026-08-13T13:23:54+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Thursday hit back at US President Donald Trump’s claim that Washington has “full control” of the Strait of Hormuz. In a post on X, Araghchi accused the US of repeated intelligence failures that led to the war with Iran and warned that an even bigger miscalculation over the strategic waterway could follow. “Worse than fake news is fake intelligence. Be careful,” he wrote, adding that Allah is greater than any power on Earth. Trump had earlier claimed on Truth Social that the US naval deployment had created a “wall of steel” around the strait and that Iran could do nothing about it. He also mocked Iran's inflation and called it “all talk”. However, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, cited by Times Now, declared that the strait remains blocked and will not reopen until Iran's conditions are accepted. ## Coverage - news.abplive.com - timesnownews.com Tags: Abbas Araghchi, Donald Trump, geopolitics, Iran-US tensions, Strait of Hormuz Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/iran-tells-trump-fake-intelligence-is-more-dangerous-than-fake-news/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
