| Trump Says Strait of Hormuz Is "100% Shut Down" as Iran Tensions Escalate. |
The announcement comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, which Trump indicated are stalling — stating that Iran is "not getting there."
When pressed on potential U.S. military options, Trump issued a stark ultimatum: "Either blast them away or make a deal."
The comments signal a significant hardening of the U.S. position as diplomatic efforts show signs of breaking down.
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital global energy chokepoint, through which approximately 20% of the world's oil supply passes daily.
Any prolonged closure would have immediate and severe consequences for global oil prices and energy markets worldwide.
