PNN – Following his failure to secure the Strait of Hormuz—despite aggressive actions against Iran—US President Donald Trump claimed: We don’t need the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; the US President stated on Wednesday while in Georgia: Millions of barrels of oil are going to Houston and Louisiana!
He further claimed: Venezuela, too, is doing better than ever. Major oil companies have entered the country and are signing contracts.
Trump claimed: If you consider us and Venezuela together, we control about 62 percent of the global oil market; therefore, we don’t need the straits, nor do we need anything else.
Continuing his rhetoric, the U.S. President said: But we do this because we have to; because we cannot allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.
Once again claiming victory over the Islamic Republic of Iran—despite military setbacks and a failure to achieve his objectives—Trump stated: We cannot let them do to us what they did to so many others. They killed over 52,000 people who were protesting. The fake news media doesn’t want to talk about that.
The US President also claimed: I call this ongoing conflict a conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran. They are taking a heavy beating and want a deal.
Trump asserted: But I say they aren’t ready for a deal yet, because whenever they do make one, they want to change it. They will be ready for a deal soon.
Following allegations of attacks on several vessels passing south of the Strait of Hormuz, the US—in violation of the Islamabad Memorandum—has once again not only resumed aggressive attacks against Iran but also reimposed a naval blockade.
On the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that there is no longer an understanding with Iran and that the ceasefire has ended. With the resumption of U.S. military aggression against Iran and the Islamic Republic of Iran’s defensive responses targeting the U.S. bases from which those attacks originated, global attention has once again focused on the Strait of Hormuz as the epicenter of the new conflict between Iran and the United States.
Washington justifies its presence and role in the region by claiming to defend “freedom of navigation,” whereas Iran insists that security in the Strait of Hormuz must be ensured through cooperation among littoral states, without the military intervention of foreign powers.
