Gate News message. On April 13, U.S. President Trump issued a statement on the Iran issue. Trump said that the Strait of Hormuz blockade has begun, and other countries will provide assistance during the blockade operation. The U.S. side may resolve the Iran issue before oil tankers arrive in the United States. Trump emphasized that if Iran does not reach an agreement within two weeks, things will not be pleasant. He pointed out that the timeline related to Iran has not changed; there have been no fighting between the two sides so far. Iran now has no commercial activity, and the United States will maintain this state. Trump said that he hopes there is no need to release the oil reserves again, but the United States is ready to take action at any time.
