President Trump Warns Against 'Blackmail' As Iran Tightens Hormuz Control | US Iran WAR | N18G
President Donald Trump warned Iran that attempts to “blackmail” the United States by tightening control of the Strait of Hormuz would not succeed, reiterating a hard‑line stance amid rising regional tensions. Trump claimed ongoing “very good conversations” with Tehran, asserting that the talks are “working out very well” despite Iran’s historic pattern of closing the strait. He highlighted Iranian support for bomb makers linked to U.S. casualties and emphasized that Iran lacks a navy, air force, and legitimate leadership. The former president quoted, “They’ve gotten away with murder for 47 years, not anymore,” and pointed to U.S. commercial vessels now routing toward Texas and Louisiana as evidence of a strategic shift. Analysts see the remarks as a signal that the U.S. may increase naval deployments and pressure Iran, potentially unsettling global oil markets and influencing diplomatic calculations ahead of upcoming elections.
