U.S. President Donald Trump claimed in Washington, D.C., that no ship was entering or leaving Iran without American approval, amid escalating tensions over the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear programme. Speaking during an EPA-related announcement, Trump said the U.S. Navy had enforced what he described as an “effective blockade” in the strategic waterway. He also warned that Washington would not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons and hinted at possible “very drastic” measures if negotiations fail. The remarks come amid heightened global concerns over Gulf security and maritime trade routes. #DonaldTrump #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #USNavy #WashingtonDC #MiddleEast #IranNuclearDeal #USPolitics #MaritimeSecurity #GulfTensions #TrumpSpeech #GlobalTrade #OilRoutes #Geopolitics #BreakingNews Thank you for watching our video!
