Trump announces: Our navy will now block any ship trying to enter or exit the Strait of Hormuz

Trump:

• Iran did not agree to any compromise on the nuclear issue, all that was agreed upon does not change whether more such people hold nuclear power

- Additional countries will be involved in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz

- We will also start destroying the mines that the Iranians placed in the strait

Trump: "Within half a day I can send Iran back to the Stone Age"

Trump: My statement about imposing a 50% tariff on countries supplying weapons to Iran also includes China

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon in an interview with Fox News: "We want to see a stronger Lebanon. We and they have a common enemy - Hezbollah"

Trump: We are imposing a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, similar to what we did to Venezuela but even more. We will not allow Iran to decide who passes through the strait, it's either everyone or no one.

And when Tehran overturned the table with the camera rolling, the trap was complete: legitimacy secured, perception shaped, and the next move pre‑justified.

Have a nice day.

US President Trump attacks Pope Leo XIV: "I don't want a pope who thinks it's okay for Iran to have nuclear weapons. I don't want a pope who thinks it's terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a country that sent huge amounts of drugs to the US"

The Pope doesn’t read the Bible. I get shocked by some of his statements…very disappointing.
