President Trump said the US is considering reimposing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. He also remarked that he would "hate" to target Iran's water desalination plants but "may have to."
The comments signal a sharp escalation in US-Iran tensions and raise the risk of supply disruptions in the Persian Gulf. The Strait of Hormuz handles about one-fifth of global oil transit, making any blockade a major geopolitical flashpoint.
