He also said the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened “very soon” or Iran would face a severe military response. His remarks come amid heightened tensions surrounding the strategic waterway, a vital route for global energy shipments.
Referring to previous negotiations with Iran, Trump claimed the US had been preparing for “a tremendous attack, the biggest since World War II” before Tehran approached Washington and requested talks.
“They called me and said very politely, please can we talk? Can we talk?” Trump said, adding that he agreed to negotiations with the aim of reaching a deal.
