In a phone interview on Sunday with Fox News’s Trey Yingst, Trump threatened to attack Iran and take over the Strait of Hormuz if Tehran interfered with passage through the waterway.

You close [the Strait of Hormuz] and you won’t have a country,” Trump said he told Iranian officials, Yingst posted on X “You won’t even make it back to your fu*king country.”

Trump also underscored the threat in a Truth Social post in which he urged Iran to stop Hezbollah militants in Lebanon from “causing trouble. ”
