Donald Trump’s latest statement:

The United States' New Military and Economic Measures Against Iran
• Strait of Hormuz Blockade: The U.S. Navy will immediately initiate a blockade process targeting all ships entering and exiting the Strait of Hormuz.
• Illegal Tolls/Transit Fee Ban: All ships paying (toll) to Iran will be stopped in international waters and will be subject to intervention. These ships will not be granted safe passage rights.
• Mine Clearance Operation: The U.S. will begin clearing mines allegedly laid by Iran in the strait.
• Severe Military Response: Any Iranian element firing at U.S. forces or civilian ships will be met with the harshest (elimination-focused) response.
• Nuclear Red Line: The current tension and Iran’s military losses are primarily attributed to the country’s nuclear ambitions and what is described as “global blackmail” through this means.
• International Involvement: It has been stated that the blockade will not be limited to the U.S. alone, and other countries will also be involved in this process.
• Final Military Readiness: The U.S. military is described as “fully equipped and ready,” and if necessary, remaining Iranian elements will be eliminated through military action.
