‘They have no money coming in’: Donald Trump claims Iran ready to reopen Strait of Hormuz
Speaking to reporters about Iran and the Strait of Hormuz's reopening, Trump said that “they don't have any money now”.
As the US-Iran conflict persists, President Donald Trump has stated that Iran is eager to reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz. Trump told reporters that Iran is "dying" due to lack of money, which they earn from the Strait. He dismissed Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait, saying they wanted it closed to cause global problems. Trump then announced his willingness to close it on Iran while allowing others to use it.
This comes after US and Iranian negotiators discussed reopening the Strait and lifting the US blockade of Iranian ports. The US has imposed an economic blockade on Iran to pressure them to end attacks on shipping in the Strait.
