According to Fox Tv, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, has issued a series of strong statements on global security, maritime control, and international alliances, outlining an aggressive approach to ongoing tensions involving Iran and key shipping routes.
Speaking on maritime disruptions, the President accused hostile actors of manipulating global trade for strategic advantage. “That’s extortion. They’re extorting the world,” Trump said, describing actions affecting international shipping as deliberate pressure tactics.
He also highlighted America’s energy independence, stressing that the United States is no longer dependent on vulnerable sea routes. “We have so much oil… we don’t need the Strait,” he stated, referring to critical global waterways often used for oil transport.
Turning to international alliances, Trump expressed frustration with Western partners, particularly NATO. “We’re very disappointed with NATO,” he said, signaling dissatisfaction with alliance support during escalating geopolitical tensions.
He further announced intensified maritime operations, saying, “We’re going to clean out the Strait,” referring to efforts aimed at securing or controlling key shipping lanes to ensure uninterrupted global trade and security.
On negotiations and policy goals, Trump emphasized that diplomatic discussions have largely met U.S. expectations except for one critical issue. “We got just about every point we needed except their nuclear ambition,” he said, referring to Iran’s nuclear program.
The President also described a full-scale operational strategy, characterizing it as uncompromising. “It’s called all in, all out,” he stated. “We’re putting on a complete blockade,” he added, outlining a total restriction approach to maritime movement and economic pressure.
He further declared that economic pressure would be intensified to restrict Iran’s oil revenues. “We’re not going to let Iran make money on selling oil,” Trump said, reinforcing sanctions and blockade objectives aimed at limiting financial resources.
On military capability, Trump claimed strong superiority in maritime defense systems. “We have highly sophisticated mine sweepers… we knocked out their entire navy,” he stated, referring to naval operations designed to neutralize maritime threats and secure shipping lanes.
