We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear.
Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!! President DJT pic.twitter.com/bhdzJY2eWj
"Iran's New Regime President, much less Radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE! We will consider when the Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!" the President wrote.
The Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping lane for oil and other goods, has been a big point of contention in Operation Epic Fury. On March 26, the U.S. announced that Alireza Tangsiri, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy commander in charge of the Strait of Hormuz, was killed in airstrikes along with several of his top aides.

President Trump laid it out plainly: open the Strait of Hormuz, or the bombings will continue.
I'm not sure exactly who he considers the new president, but that last sentence is way funnier than it has any right to be https://t.co/SaK095lEdN

It's their choice.
Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
