Trump: Iran doesn’t want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500M a day

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump · Apr 21, 2026

Iran doesn’t want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500 Million Dollars a day (which is, therefore, what they are losing if it is closed!). They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to “save face.” People approached me four days ago, saying, “Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.” But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The blockade is the smartest thing Trump has done and I'll predict it will be effective. USAIsrael could continue to bomb the hell out of Iran and the regime and it would stubbornly cling to power. But, cut off the money and supplies from trade with China and others on the other side of the blockade, and they will be more likely to talk turkey. Whether or not there can be real "regime change" is an open question. That was never going to happen overnight, anyway.

I'd bet there will be more glorious truthtweets in the coming day or so: "We have a Deal!" etc...

I don't think so the US has never had any good intentions in nation building in the middle east they come destroy the country and after they live (Libya and Afghanistan are perfect examples yet it's in the so called international law to rebuild a nation after war to get it kick started and I know Iran studied it very well they they have to fight or they are at a risk of becoming a failed state if the US wins and put wat happened in venetinam if Iran does not close does who with the US on the wall the US will be ashamed of losing and will tighten restrictions the seem it did with venetinam and Trump might have military power but he can't control the economy if Iran keeps up for two months

Uh the good old days that mass murders and rapists were getting executed instantly.
Something tells me those days will be back the minute the Ayatollahs misbehave.

As soon as this whole drama with Iran is over slowly Trump will become irrelevant due to his presidency becomes decorative as the election year approach and his power grip will start to fade as well as his age will be more evident, so trump is getting close to is sunset years and dedicate himself to golfing and drinking coke
