“They will be ‘sent to hell’”: Donald #TRUMP fumes and orders Strait of Hormuz blockade
In a statement full of combative rhetoric on Sunday, the U.S. president announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The move comes after talks with Tehran collapsed, largely stuck on the nuclear issue.
“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the best in the world, will start blocking all ships without exception trying to enter or exit the Strait of Hormuz,” he posted on Truth Social.
Donald Trump said he’s angry that the Iranian regime is trying to profit from the situation by charging transit fees through the strategic waterway. He added that he directed the U.S. Navy “to intercept any vessel in international waters that has paid a transit fee to Iran.”
The White House occupant warned resistance would be met with force: “Any Iranian who fires on us, or on peaceful vessels, will be sent to hell,” he said.
And none of this is good for financial markets — and it’s even worse for crypto.
Oil ($CL ) prices could climb higher, and frankly, Trump is moving all the markets right now.
