"You close it and you won't have a country." President Trump said he told Iranian officials about the Strait of Hormuz. "You won't even make it back to your fu*king country."
"We may take over the Strait, if we have to," Trump said. "If they don't make a deal, we'll collect tolls."
Trump added the U.S. could become the "Guardian Angel" of the Strait, and take 20% of the oil.
@TrumpTruthOnX Even the President acknowledges these are Iranian proxies. Iran knows exactly what’s happening in Lebanon through Hezbollah. At some point, we have to stop pretending Iran isn’t a central part of the problem.
@Inveestor_@HormuzLetter Israel isn’t invading Lebanon for fun. When armed groups launch attacks from Lebanese territory, Israel responds. You don’t get to ignore the attacks and only complain about the retaliation. That’s not an honest analysis.
@TrumpTruthOnX Iran knows exactly what it’s doing. You can’t arm and support Hezbollah in Lebanon, allow attacks against Israel, and then act shocked when @Israel@IDF responds. The loss of innocent lives is tragic, but pretending Iran plays no role in this is intellectually dishonest.
@NEWSMAX Iran knows exactly what it’s doing. You can’t arm and support Hezbollah in Lebanon, allow attacks against Israel, and then act shocked when Israel responds. The loss of innocent lives is tragic, but pretending Iran plays no role in this is intellectually dishonest.
Senator Lindsey Graham: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 "If this deal fails, President Trump is going to take the Strait of Hormuz by force."
President Trump will always ensures that Iran remains compliant, and American interests are protected at all costs. 💪
Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

BREAKING: Iran says its negotiating delegation will not return to the Switzerland talks until Trump personally apologizes for his threats today and Israel fully withdraws from southern Lebanon, with Iran's delegation plane already repositioned to Zurich ready to fly back to Tehran, per Al-Mayadeen.
This comes after Trump told Fox shortly before his Truth Social post that if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz "you won't have a country" and "you won't even make it BACK to your f**king country," as a direct assassination threat against the Iranian delegation.
@EricLDaugh Iran knows exactly what it’s doing. You can’t support Hezbollah, fuel regional instability, threaten the Strait of Hormuz, and then act surprised when tensions escalate. The situation is far more complex than many are willing to admit.
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL — PRESIDENT TRUMP: The ONLY country that might collect tolls in the Strait of Hormuz would be the United States, should the Iran deal not be completed — "for services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East"
47 has the cards! 🇺🇸
@amjadt25 Love them or hate them, Iran understands strategy. They send experienced diplomats and negotiators to advance their interests, while we too often elevate personalities over expertise. Geopolitics is a chess match and Iran is playing it very well.
📰NEWS: President Trump has crushed Iranian threats with a SAVAGE overnight ultimatum threatening complete national annihilation if they dare meddle with the Strait of Hormuz. Trump "You close it, and you won't have a country. You won't even make it back to your f***ing country."🤜💥🤛
