And this came at the same time that the press was asking him questions about Iran.
You see, earlier on Saturday morning, Iran announced that it was once again fully closing the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran said that the Trump regime's bad faith negotiation
tactics, the continued misrepresentations by Donald Trump of Iran's negotiation positions, the continued blockade over the Persian Gulf, and the continued escalation and threats by Donald Trump made negotiations untenable.
And Iran said while it was previously permitting some ships to cross through the Strait of
provided it was coordinated with Iran.
They are shutting that down.
And so some of the ships that we saw leaving the Strait of Hormuz using the ship tracker satellite, they suddenly turned back.
And we also learned that Iran was actually shooting at some of those ships
that at first were refusing to listen to Iran's orders to head back.
Iran ultimately got all of the ships that were leaving to go back to where they started, and the Strait of Hormuz is once again fully closed.
Also, Iran's leadership is saying it has no current intentions to meet up with the United States before the ceasefire deadline expires.
on Wednesday, and Iran says it is fully prepared to go back to war with the United States if that's what Donald Trump wants to do by not agreeing to negotiate within Iran's 10-point negotiating framework that Donald Trump previously agreed to.
I want to share with you the moment first where Donald Trump kicked out members of the press from the Oval Office as they were asking him questions about Iran.
They were asking him questions about his claim that Iran was agreeing to all of these things and that
the American military was gonna join forces with the Iranian military to go and get the nuclear material and bring it back to the United States, and that Iran was no longer gonna fund proxy groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis and the Shiite militias in Iraq, which Iran said 100% false are Donald Trump's representations.
that the Strait of Hormuz would be fully open without the control of Iran, which Iran denied.
So the press wanted to ask him those types of questions, right, after they regurgitated and spewed like stenographers what he was feeding to them on Friday.
And then Donald Trump just said, out, get out.
Let me show you the moment that went down.
