As we reported on Saturday, the negotiations with Iran failed.
It was likely a foregone conclusion, but having done it, no one can say they didn’t offer the choice to Iran to have some sense. But Iran, being Iran, chose to miscalculate again.
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the main problem was the refusal to give up their nuclear ambitions, and there couldn’t be a deal unless that was off the table. That was the main reason for Operation Epic Fury. He said that he could not let “Nuclear Power to be in the hands of such volatile, difficult, unpredictable people.”
Then came the hammer on Iran. Trump said the U.S. would be blocking the Strait to clear any mines that Iran my have left, then they would be allowing ships through. He also indicated they would have help in that endeavor.
So, there you have it, the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not. Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump wrote.
“At some point, we will reach an ‘ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT’ basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, ‘There may be a mine out there somewhere,’ that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted,” Trump continued.
“I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL! Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khomeini, and most of their ‘Leaders,’ are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition,” he said.
“The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully ‘LOCKED AND LOADED,’ and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran!” he added.
As we reported, U.S. ships had already passed through the Strait.

Now, Iran will likely try to attack the ships. They have missiles, drones, and they have small attack boats that aren’t necessarily part of the regular navy, but the military likely anticipates those moves, as Trump indicated. Iran will not be able to overcome the U.S. military. The military had already been softening up the targets along the Strait that may have posed a problem.
Iran chose unwisely. Now they’re going to find out that the control they thought they had isn’t much.
Editor’s Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
