President discusses Iran and Hormuz Strait

Mr. President, any plans to strike Iran in response?

Uh, well, I'm rejecting their deal.

They wanna make a deal where they open the strait immediately because they're

losing so badly. You know, you don't read that or you don't see

that in the

fake news.

But, uh, we're winning tremendously.

We have total control of the Hormuz Strait.

Uh, massive amounts of oil are coming out of the Hormuz Strait.

Last night we had twenty-nine ships come out.

Uh, they wanna make a deal, and I think that's fine.

I like making a deal too. But, uh,

I'm not... That deal would not be acceptable.

Do you see a way forward?

And what they wanna do is immediately open the Hormuz Strait.

You know why?

Because they're dying. You know why they're dying?

Because they have no money coming in.

Because they get their money from the Hormuz Strait.

So they outsmarted themselves. They said, "Let's close it and cause a

problem for the world." And then I came along and we put up the

greatest blockade ever in military history.

It's a wall of steel and we put it up.

And guess what? They don't have any money now because they

wanted to

close the strait and I said, "That's fine, we're gonna close it on you," but

everybody else is able to use it.

Mr. President-
