"Quick and brutal elimination", Trump blocks Hormuz and threatens Iran: We will sink you!

Donald Trump has blocked the world's main oil supply artery, the Strait of Hormuz, by a decision. Although it has been talked about for several days, such a decision is expected to have an impact on relations with Iran. The one who is "fanning" the fire is Benjamin Netanyahu, who in a statement to the Israeli media said that the ceasefire with Iran could be called into question very soon.

America is blocking the Strait of Hormuz to Iranian ships. President Donald Trump announced the entry into force of this decision and issued a strong threat to Tehran officials.

"Iran's navy is at the bottom of the sea, completely destroyed, 158 ships. What we haven't hit is their small number of what they call 'fast attack craft,' because we didn't consider them much of a threat. Warning: If any of these ships come near our blockade, they will be eliminated immediately, using the same kill system we use against drug traffickers on ships at sea. It's fast and brutal," Trump said.

The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is in effect and more than 15 US ships are carrying out the operation. This is reported by the Wall Street Journal, citing a US official, who said that in the Middle East, the United States can rely on guided-missile destroyers and several warships capable of launching helicopters to support operations.

Earlier, the speaker of Iran's parliament said the country would not "surrender to threats." "Enjoy the current prices at the pump. With the so-called 'blockade,' you will soon regret $4 or $5 per gallon," Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a post on the social network X.

Meanwhile, according to Israeli media outlet Channel 12, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes the ceasefire with Iran could be called into question "very soon."

The head of the Jewish state's government said he spoke yesterday with US Vice President JD Vance after failed negotiations with Tehran in Islamabad, Pakistan.

There are conflicting interpretations of the obstacles that prevented peace. Trump announced that the failure came because Iran did not give up its nuclear ambitions, while Iran's foreign minister blames "target shifting" by the US.
