He assured that the US and Israel “do not intend to do this unless it is necessary.” “These are objects that are very easy to hit, but hitting them could have catastrophic consequences,” Trump added. The US president also again threatened to take actions aimed at reducing oil prices and unblocking the Strait of Hormuz.

He declared again that “when the time comes”, American ships will escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz and announced further lifting of sanctions to reduce gas prices.
