Shafaq News- Washington
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday urged countries that did not help in the US-Israeli strikes on Iran to buy American oil and go to the Strait of Hormuz.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, “I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.”
Addressing these countries, the US President said, "You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” adding, "The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!"
Meanwhile, War Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that "the upcoming days will be decisive" in thewar with Iran."Iran knows that, and there's almost nothing they can militarily do about it," Hegseth claimed, adding that "American firepower is only increasing," while saying Iran's is "decreasing."
On the Strait of Hormuz, Hegseth noted, "many more vessels are flowing through today than there were," stating that "if Iran is wise, it will cut a deal."
