YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Donald Trump expressed displeasure with the current state of negotiations with Iran, blaming disjointed leadership in Tehran for preventing a deal to end the nine-week conflict that’s triggered a global energy crisis. #iran #trump #politics #worldnews #israel #usa

Iran delivered a new proposal to the US and Trump vowed to maintain a naval blockade, as the two sides pursue behind-the-scenes diplomacy to turn a fragile ceasefire into a lasting peace. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Trump’s remarks referred to that proposal.

Trump touted what he called an “incredible” blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and said the US wasn’t ready to end the war. “The strait is totally shut down, it’s flawless. It’s 100% shut down.”
