We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
President Donald Trump said nations that are struggling to get jet fuel due to Iran’s chokehold of the Strait of Hormuz should go to the vital waterway and “take” the oil.
“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just take it,” he said Tuesday morning.
Trump went on to claim that Iran has “been, essentially, decimated” and that the “hard part” has been done by the U.S.
A Kuwait-flagged oil tanker anchored off the coast of Dubai was struck by Iranian missiles in the early hours of Tuesday.
According to local media, the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation said that the “Al-Salmi,” a large crude carrier, was “directly attacked by Iranian forces while positioned in the anchorage area of Dubai Port in the UAE.”
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that ensuring safe passage for oil tankers is not one of the Administration’s “core objectives.”
“The full reopening of the Strait is something the Administration is working towards, but the core objectives of the operation have been clearly defined for the American people by the Commander in Chief,” Leavitt said.
