President Donald Trump said today the US might “take over” the Strait of Hormuz if it can’t reach a deal with Iran.

“We may take over the Strait, if we have to,” Trump said during a 20-minute phone call with Fox News. “If they don’t make a deal, we’ll collect tolls.”

On Saturday, Iranian state media reported that Iran’s military command said it will close the strait due to Israel’s alleged violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon, and the US “failing to implement” the first clause of the tentative agreement to end the war.

During the call with Fox News, Trump said,

“You close it and you won’t have a country,” Trump said he told Iranian officials about the critical waterway. “You won’t even make it back to your f**king country.”

Trump stated that he believes the US could become the “guardian angel” of the strait and take 20% of the oil that passes through.

CNN has reached out to the White House for more details on what taking over the strait would entail.

Trump also threatened Iran again over its proxies in Lebanon.

“Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble,” Trump wrote on Truth SocialSunday morning. “If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!”
