Trump Threatens Iran with Destruction, Invasion Over Strait of Hormuz in Profanity-Laced Warning
During ongoing U.S.-Iran peace talks in Switzerland, President Trump threatened Iranian negotiators in a phone interview with Fox News, warning that any closure of the Strait of Hormuz would result in Iran's destruction. According to reports, Trump told Iranian officials 'you won't have a country' and 'you won't even make it back to your f**king country' if they attempted to close the critical shipping passage. He further threatened a full ground invasion, stating the U.S. 'may take over the strait if we have to' and 'we'll take over the rest of the country.' The threats came as high-stakes diplomatic talks aimed at ending the U.S.-Iran war teetered on collapse, with Trump's inflammatory rhetoric undermining peace negotiations and threatening to escalate military conflict in the Middle East. The remarks were made during a Fox News phone interview while Swiss-mediated negotiations were actively underway.
