United States President Donald Trump says the US naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz will not be lifted until the US and Iran reach a deal.
Trump made this known in a post via his Truth Social on Monday.
“This has been, in addition to everything else, Regime Change, and perhaps, most important of all, the blockade, which we will not take off until there is a deal, is absolutely destroying Iran,” Trump wrote.
According to him, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has forced other countries to come to the US for oil.
“The Iranian leadership has forced hundreds of Ships toward the United States, mostly Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to get their Oil — Thank you very much!” He wrote.
