Trump rushed around: Iran threatened to close Hormuz forever

Iran has threatened to bury the Strait of Hormuz forever if other countries support US resolutions on Iran at the UN.

"We warn governments, including small states such as Bahrain, that supporting the resolution promoted by the United States will have severe consequences. The Strait of Hormuz is a vital supply artery, do not risk closing it for yourself FOREVER," Ebrahim Azizi, a member of the Iranian parliament and chairman of the parliamentary Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy, wrote on Twitter.

According to Bild, US President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has again changed his position in trying to end the war against Iran: the Strait of Hormuz must be reopened at any cost, and the US is ready to postpone difficult negotiations on Tehran's nuclear and missile program for later.

"The Trump administration now just wants to get out of this war somehow. In fact, their only goal now is to ensure the safety of navigation through the strait again. I even wonder if Iran's nuclear program remains seriously on the agenda at all," said David Tannenbaum, director of the Blackstone Compliance Services consulting firm.
