Iran decided to open fire yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz, in complete violation of the ceasefire agreement! Some of the shots targeted a French vessel and another British one. Is that a good way to behave?
Our representatives will head to Islamabad, Pakistan, where they will arrive tomorrow evening for negotiations. Iran recently announced its intention to close the strait, which is strange, because the blockade we imposed has already effectively shut it down. They are helping us without realizing it, and they are the ones losing from this closure, with losses estimated at around $500 million a day! As for the United States, it is losing nothing. In fact, many ships are now heading to the United States — to Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska — to load cargo, thanks to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which continues to act with the mentality of the “strongman.”
We are offering a very fair and highly reasonable deal, and I hope it will be accepted. If it is rejected, the United States will destroy every power station and every bridge in Iran. There is no longer any room for the “nice guy”! The operation will be swift and decisive, and if the deal is not accepted, it will be my honor to do what must be done — what should have been carried out against Iran 47 years ago. The time has come to put an end to what he described as the “Iranian killing machine.”
