New threats by the US president to Iran over the Straits of Hormuz

New threats by the US president to Iran over the Straits of Hormuz

Donald Trump launches new threats against Iran.

He insists that the US side is in talks with a "new and more reasonable regime" in Iran, stressing, however, that if an agreement is not reached soon and if the Straits of Hormuz are not opened, the United States forces will blow up all the power plants, the oil wells on Harg Island and possibly all the desalination plants.

Earlier, the American president claimed that Tehran has accepted most of the 15 points, which the United States put forward to end the war.

However, a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry spoke of absurd US claims, while insisting that there have been no direct direct negotiations between the two sides for now.

Meanwhile, Spain has closed its airspace to US planes participating in military operations against Iran.
