Trump warns to hit Iran "20 times harder" if Strait of Hormuz blocked
Trump warns of 'death, fire, and fury' if Iran disrupts global oil passageway
Late on Monday, US President Trump issued another warning to Iran about disrupting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
'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 said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social.
About 20% of the world's oil passes through the strait and the war has severely reduced sea traffic and sent global oil prices soaring.
'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 — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen!' he said.
Trump said Monday that US military operations in Iran would be ending soon, reassuring markets that have been thrust into chaos by a war still reverberating across the Middle East.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards replied Tuesday that they, not the Americans, would 'determine the end of the war'.
