In statements after the failure of negotiations with Iran, US President Donald Trump claimed that the meeting went well and that most points were agreed upon, but the only point that was truly important, the nuclear issue, was not agreed upon.
He also claimed that from this moment on, the US Navy will begin the process of completely blocking the Strait of Hormuz, meaning that no ship will have the right to enter or exit the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump: He said that in the near future we will reach a point where we can say that all ships are allowed to enter and exit, but Iran did not allow this, saying that there may be mines somewhere that only they know about; this is global blackmail, and the leaders of countries, especially the United States of America, will never be blackmailed.
The US President added that he has ordered the Navy to identify and seize any ship in international waters that has paid tolls or ransom to Iran. No ship that pays illegal tolls to Iran will have safe passage on the high seas.
He emphasized that we will also begin to destroy the mines that the Iranians have laid in the strait. Any Iranian who fires at us or peaceful ships will be sent to hell.
Trump addressed Iran: “Iran knows better than anyone how to end this situation, a situation that has devastated their country, their navy has been destroyed, their air force has been destroyed, their air defense systems and radar have been rendered useless.”
He continued his claims that the blockade will begin soon. Other countries will also participate in this blockade. Iran will not be allowed to benefit from this illegal act of blackmail. They also want money and, more importantly, they want the nuclear weapons.
Trump also added at the end that at the right time, we are fully locked and ready to fire, and our military will finish off what is left of Iran.
