‘Look Out Your Window’: Trump Warned Iranians Before Massive Bridge Destroyed

Trump repeated his threat throughout Monday, and by Tuesday, reports filtered in early in the day saying that the Iranians had rejected all U.S. cease-fire demands, one of which is to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz to civilian tanker and shipping traffic.

“Iran responded by declaring it would no longer hold back from hitting infrastructure of its Gulf neighbours, and claimed to have carried out fresh strikes on a ship in the Gulf and Saudi industrial facilities linked to U.S. firms,” Reuters reported.

“A senior Iranian source told Reuters that Tehran had rejected a proposal conveyed by intermediaries for a temporary ceasefire. Talks on a lasting peace could begin only after the U.S. and Israel end their strikes, provide ​a guarantee they will not resume and offer compensation for damages,” the outlet’s report continued.

“Any future settlement must leave Iran in control of the strait, imposing fees on ships that use it, the source said on condition of anonymity,” it said.
