US President Donald Trump said he will hit Iran hard economically and will soon declare the strategic Strait of Hormuz as U.S. territory.
Trump urged Americans to accept slightly higher gas prices as the cost of what he called a great service preventing the terrorist Iranian regime from obtaining a nuclear bomb.
The president dismissed concerns about conditions aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier, though details were not specified in the report.
The move comes amid heightened tensions over the terrorist Iranian regime's nuclear ambitions and its destabilizing activities in the region. The regime has long been condemned for its human rights abuses and support for terrorism.
By declaring Hormuz U.S. territory, Trump aims to assert control over the vital oil shipping route, which the terrorist Iranian regime has repeatedly threatened to disrupt.
