US President Donald Trump on Saturday warned Iran not to
“blackmail” Washington with its flip-flopping on the fate of the Strait of
Hormuz, after Tehran declared the strategic waterway once again closed.
“We’re talking to them. They wanted to close up the strait
again — you know, as they’ve been doing for years — and they can’t blackmail
us,” Trump said at a White House event.
Trump said there would be “some information” about Iran
later in the day, adding: “We’re taking a tough stand.”
Iran’s military on Saturday declared the strait, through
which about one-fifth of the world’s crude and liquefied natural gas normally
passes, was once again closed, a day after saying it was open.
