Trump speaking to Fox News said Iran will be ‘blown off the face of the earth’ if the Islamic republic attacks US ships guiding vessels through Strait of Hormuz.
A US official cited by Al Jazeera said that Project Freedom in the Strait of Hormuz is a defensive operation and we do not want to see escalation with Iran.
I don’t see how any of this is a long-term solution. At some point, US ships will have to leave the area.
At the same time, Trump said Iran is now more malleable in talks.
