Chile asserts sovereignty over Strait of Magellan amid Argentina tension

Chilean Chancellor Francisco Pérez declared the Strait of Magellan 'has always been, is, and will be Chilean' during a parliamentary session, responding to questions about tensions with Argentina. The statement follows a Socialist deputy's inquiry, signaling a potential diplomatic dispute over the strategic waterway. The claim is a reaffirmation of Chile's long-held position, but the specific Argentine challenge remains unclear.
