Defending his planned blockade, the U.S. president said Sunday that Iran cannot control which ships go through the Strait of Hormuz, declaring that either every ship should have safe passage or none would.
“We’re not going to let Iran make money on selling oil to people that they like,” Trump said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“It’s going to be all or none and that’s the way it is,” the president said.
The blockade will be similar to what the U.S. did with Venezuela, though on a larger scale, Trump said, suggesting that more tankers would come to the U.S. to buy oil as a result of the blockade.
Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday that a “whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
He said that his threat brought Iran to the negotiating table. He also said the Islamic Republic has made worse statements, such as “Death to America. Death to Israel. America is a Satan.”
Trump issued new warnings to strike Iran’s civilian infrastructure if its leaders don’t agree to give up its nuclear program.
“In one half of a day they wouldn’t have one bridge standing, they wouldn’t have one electric generating plant standing and they’re back in the stone ages,” Trump said.
