As Iran tries to choke off oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said that if further action is taken to fulfill that vow, Iran will be subject to more attacks.
Iran said at the start of the war with the U.S. and Israel that it would not allow shipping through the strait, and despite Trump’s efforts on Friday to entice ships to pass through, shipping traffic remains low, as noted byThe Guardian.
“If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far,” Trump posted Monday evening onTruth Social.
“Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them,” Trump wrote.
Trump said that although his finger is on the trigger, “I hope, and pray, that it does not happen!”
Trump noted that other nations need the strait open more than the United States needs it open.
“This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated,” he wrote.

The Strait of Hormuz, which runs between Iran and Oman, is a vital shipping route that carries about 20 million barrels of oil per day and about one-fifth of the world’s liquefied natural gas, according toFox News.
