"We're going to be blockading, Trump said. It'll take a little while, but it'll be effective pretty soon. We had meetings yesterday that lasted 21 hours. We had some very, very good representatives, but we didn't get there on the important issue. They want to have nuclear weapons. They're not going to have nuclear weapons."
"Their army and their whole military is obliterated. The whole place is obliterated. Khamenei's gone, the whole thing is gone. They have one thing that they can do. They can say, well, gee, we're gonna put a mine someplacejust a minewe'll drop one mine, two mines. And if you have a ship that costs a billion dollars, you say, well, you know, I prefer not getting whacked by a mine."
"We had a very intensive negotiation, and toward the end it got very friendly. We got just about every point we needed, except for the fact that they refused to give up their nuclear ambition. And that's the only point, frankly."
President Trump announced a naval blockade on ships in the Strait of Hormuz after talks with Iran collapsed. He emphasized that Iran's military is severely weakened and that their leaders are no longer in power. Trump described the negotiations as initially friendly but ultimately unsuccessful due to Iran's refusal to abandon its nuclear ambitions. He characterized Iran's actions as extortion, suggesting they could resort to mining the waters to threaten shipping. The blockade aims to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
