Iran lied about negotiations with US, Strait of Hormuz to open 'very soon', Trump says
“The Strait’s going to be open very soon, or they’re going to get hit very hard, and then the Strait’s going to be open,” Trump said.
US President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that Iran had requested talks with the US and then publicly denied ongoing negotiations. Trump claimed the US was prepared for a "tremendous attack" before opting for diplomacy, and accused Iranian officials of denying Tuesday's all-day talks. He reiterated that Iran would not acquire a nuclear weapon and that the Strait of Hormuz would open "very soon." Trump also criticized former President Obama's Iran deal, asserting that military pressure, not bribery, brought Tehran to the negotiating table. He warned that if Iran withdrew from current talks, "they're going to get hit really hard."
