US President Donald Trump on his Truth Social account, wrote that lifting the naval blockade would make a deal with Iran unlikely, APA reports.
“Iran does not want the Strait of Hormuz to be closed. They want it open so they can earn $500 million a day. They say it is only closed because I have completely shut it down. They are just trying to save face. But if we do that, a deal with Iran may never happen,” Trump wrote.
