US President Donald Trump has just spoken to reporters on Air Force One, concluding his remarks with a threat to “start dropping bombs again” if Iran blockaded the Strait of Hormuz.
“I don’t know,” he said.
“Maybe I won’t extend it, but the blockade is going to remain. But maybe I won’t extend it, so you’ll have a blockade, and unfortunately we’ll have to start dropping bombs again.”
He also said the US would claim Iran’s “nuclear dust” after a deal was signed with Iran, but did not elaborate when asked how this would be achieved.
“I ended eight wars, and it may be a little early to say this, but if we add Iran and Lebanon that will be 10 wars ended and many, many millions of lives saved,” Trump claimed.
