Trump Claims US Blockade Has Shut Strait of Hormuz, Threatens to End Iran’s IRGC
US President Donald Trump called Iran’s announcement to close the Strait of Hormuz “strange,” saying the US blockade has already shut the passage. He argued that the move by the IRGC only hurts Iran, which is losing an estimated $500 million a day. Trump added that global tankers are rerouting to load oil in Texas, Louisiana and Alaska, boosting US revenue while Iran pays the price. He warned Tehran that rejecting Washington’s “fair and reasonable” deal would leave Iran facing the destruction of its power plants and bridges. In a forceful message, Trump declared: “No more Mr. Nice Guy. It’s time for the Iran killing machine to end.”
