Trump says he will not rule out continued pressure on Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz

Deep Tide TechFlow message. On March 31, according to data from Golden Ten, in an interview with CBS News, Trump said he “is not yet prepared” to give up efforts to pressure Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz. CBS reporter called Trump on Tuesday morning local time, asking him to clarify his earlier remarks that may have suggested he would abandon the related actions. Trump reiterated his dissatisfaction that other countries have not dispatched military forces to participate in the U.S.-Israel response to Iran’s military actions, but said he is not yet prepared for the United States to exit the conflict. “At some point I’ll do that, but not yet. Other countries have to get involved and handle it themselves. Iran has been weakened, but they have to finish the relevant work themselves.” Trump also reiterated that although Iran is still carrying out attacks on ships and infrastructure in the countries of the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz “is not a real threat.” “Let them fight for themselves. They don’t want to help anybody. NATO is terrible; they’re all terrible. So if they want oil, then go get it themselves.” Trump said.
