Trump affirms US capability to escalate Iran conflict
The United States has confirmed that it may resort to escalation in the conflict with Iran if it sees that as necessary, indicating that it has the capability to impose a steel blockade on Tehran and only allow ships not heading to Iran to pass through. President Donald Trump clarified that Washington will take strong measures, including destroying vital facilities inside Iran and deterring any attacks on commercial ships, as negotiations continue to reopen the maritime passage in the Gulf. Trump also rejected the idea of paying Iranian compensation for damages, accusing Tehran of paying the price for its actions over the past 50 years. He stated that the Strait of Hormuz is fully under American control and that the U.S. will impose fees on navigation through it. In response, Iran's official spokeswoman said that the United States is playing chess with Tehran, while both sides continue discussing options for escalation and tension in the region.
