What did Trump say?

In his post, Trump wrote that he has two suggestions for countries like Britain, which are facing jet fuel shortage due to the Strait of Hormuz and which had refused to take part in action against Iran. Giving the first suggestion, he said that such countries can buy jet fuel from America because America has no shortage of it. In the second suggestion, Trump said that these countries should muster courage and go to the Strait of Hormuz themselves and take control over it.

Trump further wrote that now the time has come for western countries to learn to fight for themselves. He said that many countries did not support America when it was in need, so now even America will not come to help them in every situation.

Trump's sharp statement on Iran also

In his post, Trump also claimed that Iran has been almost destroyed and the most difficult task has been completed. He told the Western countries to now go and get oil for themselves. This statement is being seen as an indication of America's tough strategy, especially at a time when the situation in the Middle East remains extremely sensitive.

France also targeted

Trump also mentioned France in his message. He alleged that France did not allow planes carrying military equipment bound for Israel to pass through its airspace. Trump said France did not cooperate well with the “butcher of Iran” and the United States will remember this. However, he did not explain in detail in his post which incident he was referring to.

Had warned Iran before this

Earlier on Monday also, Trump had given a strict warning regarding Iran. He had said that the US is in serious talks with a more sensible government to end its military operations in Iran. According to Trump, some progress has been made in this direction. But he also made it clear that if no agreement is reached soon and the Strait of Hormuz is not opened for trade, America can take strict measures.

Threat of attack on power plants and oil bases

Trump said that if the situation does not change, America can completely destroy Iran's power generation plants, oil wells and important targets like Kharg Island. He also said that these targets have not been deliberately targeted so far, but action can be taken if needed.

impact on global politics

Experts believe that Trump's recent statement clearly shows the differences between America and its traditional allies. If tension increases over the Strait of Hormuz, it may also impact the global oil market, trade and international politics.

At present, the eyes of the world are focused on which direction this tension between America, Iran and Western countries will go in the coming days and whether any diplomatic solution can be found.
