US Vice President JD Vance is in Lake Lucerne, Switzerland, representing the US in talks with Iran, Pakistan, and Qatar to sign the US-Iran peace deal. Despite ongoing talks, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed after Iran cited a violation of the peace deal following an Israeli attack on Lebanon.
US shipping insurer Chubb's CEO claims the passage through the Strait of Hormuz is an 'hour to hour' situation, with some traffic still flowing through the waterway. Fox News reported that Trump has threatened to take over and 'blow the sh** out of' Iran if they don't open the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst, Trump had an explosive phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, telling him to 'watch his mouth' and threatening to take over the rest of the country if the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
Senator Lindsey Graham claimed that Trump is planning to take over the Strait of Hormuz by force and control it if the deal fails, even going so far as to suggest charging a fee from ships that pass through the waterway.
