Iran threatens disruption of world oil supply route
Iran appears to be retaliating against President Trump, who has cut that nation’s oil exports to zero. Trump’s move is intended to bring Iran to the negotiating table regarding their nuclear weapons program.
“We have the capability to close the Strait of Hormuz,” Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps navy commander told Newsweek. He also indicated that blocking the passageway was another possibility if “high-ranking officials” decided to take such action.
“I would like a deal done with Iran on non-nuclear. I would prefer that to bombing the hell out of it,” Trump said.
