Trump Threatens Decisive Iran Action Before Deadline
US President threatens unilateral military action against Iran if they don't reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy chokepoint, before his Tuesday deadline.
President Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, threatening to take decisive military action against the country in a single night if they do not reopen the Strait of Hormuz before his upcoming deadline. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy chokepoint, has been partially blockaded by Iran in recent months, disrupting international oil and gas shipments.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said that he is prepared to act unilaterally against Iran if necessary. "If they don't get their act together by Tuesday, I can have that place taken care of in one night," the president declared. "They'll have a big problem if they close the Strait of Hormuz."
