With Iran declaring the Strait of Hormuz closed over Israel’s continued attacks in Lebanon, Trump threatened to blow away the Islamic Republic and make the US the de facto governor of the waterway.

“You close it, and you won’t have a country,” Trump said of the Strait of Hormuz, according to Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst. “You won’t even make it back to your f–king country.”
