President Donald Trump escalated his war of words with Iran on Sunday, warning President Masoud Pezeshkian to 'keep his mouth shut and get a grip' or the US will take over the rest of the country. Speaking to Fox News, Trump also threatened that if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, 'you will not have a country,' according to Israeli media.
President Donald Trump escalated his verbal confrontation with Iran on Sunday, issuing a direct threat to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. In response to Pezeshkian's recent remarks, Trump told Fox News: "He'd better keep his mouth shut and get a grip — or we'll take over the rest of the country." The president renewed his threat over the Strait of Hormuz, warning that if Iran carries out its threat to close the strategic waterway, "you will not have a country." Trump earlier stated that he spoke with the Iranians tonight and warned them against closing Hormuz. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Trump had already warned Pezeshkian to "shut his mouth" and threatened to "bomb the shit out of" Iran if it closes the Strait — part of a rapidly escalating exchange between Washington and Tehran amid ongoing US strikes inside Iran and stalled nuclear talks.
