Donald Trump said the US will start blockading the Strait of Hormuz to ensure no ships and enter or leave the area, also threatening any Iranian trying to stop him would be ‘BLOWN TO HELL’
Trump has said he is “locked and loaded” as he declared that the United States would begin blockading the Strait of Hormuz after peace talks between America and Iran fell through.
The President said the blockade would stop any and all ships from entering of leaving the Strait until Iran and the US reach an “ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT” basis. Iran also supposedly claimed there may be mines in the Strait. Trump took to Truth Social and threatened any Iranian trying to shoot at them during the blockade would be “BLOWN TO HELL”.
He said: So, there you have it, the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not. Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.
“At some point, we will reach an “ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT” basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, “There may be a mine out there somewhere,” that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted. I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.
“We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL! Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khomeini, and most of their “Leaders,” are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition.
“The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully “LOCKED AND LOADED,” and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran! President DONALD J. TRUMP”.
Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV has taken to social media to deliver a blistering slap-down to global power-mongers, as tensions between the US and Iran teeter on the brink. The Chicago-born Holy Father used his X account to issue a searing critique of leaders who “sacrifice every value” at the altar of their own ego.
While the Vatican stopped short of tagging Donald Trump himself, the timing of the digital sermon – following a series of escalations in the Middle East – has been widely interpreted as a direct hit on the White House’s “crusader” rhetoric.
The Pontiff’s post, which quickly went viral, pulled no punches in its assessment of modern warmongering.
Leo XIV wrote: “Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee.
“Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life.”
