The Iranian delegation currently attending talks in Switzerland has lodged a protest after US President Donald Trump threatened its negotiators a short while ago, APA reports citing Iranian state media.
“Iranian delegation has lodged a protest with the US side and is now weighing options for an appropriate response to Donald Trump’s recent verbal threats,” Press TV, a state-run media channel in Iran, posted to X.
In a phone call with Fox News today, Trump said that the US might “take over” the Strait of Hormuz if it can’t reach a deal with Iran and threatened the Iranian delegation that has gathered in Switzerland.
“You close it (the Strait of Hormuz) and you won’t have a country,” Trump said he told Iranian officials. “You won’t even make it back to your f**king country.”
