US President Donald Trump warned Iran not to “blackmail” the United States with its flip-flopping on the fate of the Strait of Hormuz after Tehran declared the strategic waterway once again closed.
Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump said, “We’re talking to them. They wanted to close up the strait again — you know, as they’ve been doing for years — and they can’t blackmail us.”
However, Trump also showed optimism about a deal with Iran and said, “They [Iran] got a little cute, as they have been doing for 47 years”.
“It’s going actually along very well, and we’ll see, but we’ll have some information by the end of the day”, he said.
