President Donald Trump has issued a series of threats against Iran after ceasefire talks in Islamabad, Pakistan failed over the weekend. The US President addressed speculation about renaming the Strait of Hormuz/Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Trump, a move he previously made with the Gulf of America (Mexico) via an executive order in January.
Trump stated that the Iranian side did not accept Washington's terms for ending the war, even after 21 hours of talks. He claimed that Iran is unwilling to give up its nuclear ambitions and that the US would begin blocking maritime movement through the Strait of Hormuz, directing the Navy to act immediately.
The US President warned that US forces would 'seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran.' He also issued a stark warning about potential military escalation, stating that the US is 'fully LOCKED AND LOADED,' and that their Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran.
