President Donald Trump is calling Iran “a nation of
terror,” saying Iran’s responsibility for attacks on tankers in the Gulf of
Oman was “exposed” by the United States.
Calling into “Fox & Friends” on Friday, Trump
says of the Thursday attacks, “Iran did do it.” He cites video purporting to
show an Iranian boat removing what the U.S. says is an unexploded mine from one
of the vessels.
Iran has denied any role in the attacks.
Trump cites no new potential U.S. responses, saying
the U.S. has been “very tough on sanctions.” He says, “They’ve been told in
very strong terms we want to get them back to the table.”
Trump is warning Iran not to close off the strategic
Strait of Hormuz, saying if it is closed it won’t be closed for long.
