Looks like those “peace talks” are going about as well as expected. Trump ran to one of his favorite reporters on Fox again with more threats against Iran:
Donald Trump told Fox News on Sunday that he threatened to “take over” Iran if the Strait of Hormuz was not immediately re-opened.
The president’s latest round of threats came in response to news Saturday that Iran was once again closing the key waterway, just days after signing an agreement to ensure that traffic could flow through. Iran announced that it would close the Strait of Hormuz after Israeli forces continued an all-out assault into Lebanon aimed at dislodging Hezbollah militants.
Fox’s Trey Yingst reported on Sunday that in an early morning phone call, the U.S. president said he’d warned Iranian officials directly that “you close [the Strait of Hormuz] and you won’t have a country.”
“You won’t even make it back to your f**king country,” Yingst said the president claimed to have relayed to the Iranians, adding: “We’ll take over the rest of the country.”
Yeah, good luck with that. They’re setting up Vance to be the fall guy for this:
Trump threatens to strike Iran if it does not stop its ‘proxies in Lebanon’
Donald Trump has just been posting to his social media platform Truth Social with further threats to Iran.The US president posted:
Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP
It comes just after US vice-president JD Vance had hailed the “great progress” made in the last few hours as he gives update on US-Iran peace talks taking place in Switzerland today.
Someone needs to take Trump’s phone away.
