Trump Accuses Iran of Duplicity, Threatens 'Wall of Steel' at Hormuz
President Trump took to Truth Social to blast Iranian leadership as 'unbelievably duplicitous,' claiming the US Navy controls the Strait of Hormuz with a blockade and warning that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, former President Donald Trump accused Iran's leadership of dishonesty regarding ongoing talks. He claimed they requested a meeting, then publicly denied any discussions beyond dealing with Oman.
Trump asserted that the Strait of Hormuz is 'completely controlled' by the U.S. Navy through a blockade he described as a 'Wall of Steel.' He warned that nothing passes through unless a deal or total surrender is reached.
The former president restated that Iran will never possess a nuclear weapon, adding that the U.S. is discussing a solution to decades-long problems caused by Iran.
His remarks come amid renewed diplomatic efforts and heightened tensions in the region, with potential implications for global oil shipments and geopolitical stability.
