Donald Trump is panicking as Iran is publicly mocking him for saying he's putting on a blockade over the entire Persian Gulf.

Iran says, look, we want to reach a resolution so long as you negotiate within the 10-point framework that you previously agreed to.

But now that you're just escalating and talking about imposing a blockade,

It's the reason why you can't do a deal with Donald Trump and his regime.

It's the reason why negotiations failed in Islamabad.

And now you're saying you're going to impose a blockade.

You do realize that by doing that, you would only be further closing the Strait of Hormuz.

So your plan to open the Strait of Hormuz.

is now to put a blockade on everyone internationally from doing any business basically in the strait of hormuz i know the centcom statement said well the blockade only applies to ships going into an iranian port

well it's much more murky than that if you actually understand the flow of oil because when you look at the persian gulf oftentimes iranian oil moves to other areas and areas that are considered to depart from iranian ports end up stopping by in nearby countries so that it doesn't just stop in an iranian port but

Okay, Trump regime and CENTCOM, you're doing a blockade at 10 a.m.

today.

That's what you're saying.
