Trump: We’re taking over the Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump remarked on the current state of the war with Iran in an interview with Fox News on Monday, focusing on a seemingly American future he has planned for the critical waterway. “We’re taking over the Strait…they [Iran] have nothing,” the American leader told the reporters. Trump promised that Washington would become the “guardian” of Hormuz and that it would be paid for its efforts. He went on to criticize the Iranian delegation for suggesting changes following an 11-hour meeting with the US delegation, calling them “professional negotiators.”

NN:  Trump has the ability to close down the straights as does Iran. Trump cannot open the straights without Iran’s approval. The only was to change the equation is for the US with allies to Invade Iran with boots on the ground. And no-one in power has the balls to do that right now.
