'Very little of Iran will be left': Trump's big warning as US launches strikes near Strait of Hormuz
The US president also claimed that Washington was in “almost total control” of the key maritime route
President Donald Trump dismissed a report claiming the United States was seeking to force Iran into negotiations, stating he has "little interest in any agreement with Iran" and is satisfied with the current US position, according to a post on Truth Social. Trump expressed relief at the US now holding "almost total control" of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which he believes will lead to Iran's economy collapsing and a potential uprising by the Iranian people.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments, remains a focal point of the ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran. Iranian officials have contested claims of US control over the waterway.
