US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran against disrupting oil flow in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran clarified its firm stance on the end of the war and oil exports.

Iran's response to Donald Trump's warning: US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran regarding the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. He stated that if Iran attempts to block oil traffic on this route, it will have to pay a heavy price. The US President, through a post on Truth Social, cautioned Iran, saying, "If Iran tries to stop oil traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, America will respond twenty times harder than ever before."

Elaborating on the potential scope of the campaign, he indicated that the US military would focus on "easily destroyable" locations. Trump said that such attacks could be so devastating that they might impede Iran's ability to rebuild as a nation. He further added, "After that, there will be an atmosphere of death, fire, and chaos for them, but I hope, and I pray, that this does not happen!"

Trump also stated that this US move regarding the Strait of Hormuz would be a gift to China and all countries that use this waterway. He expressed hope that this step would be appreciated by all.
