And then the next day he's saying, if you don't open the Strait, we're going to bomb you in oblivion.

So does the Strait matter or does it not matter?

And then one day it's regime change.

Trump's saying, hey, when this conflict is over, this will be the best chance in generations for you all to topple this regime.

Yeah, we've talked this week about Trump's options for potentially putting boots on the ground.

But according to numerous reports, he's now fearful that such an operation could extend the war beyond his original four to six week timetable.

And now he's reportedly considering ending the war even if the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked.

On Tuesday, he seemed to hint at that possibility, slamming our allies and essentially telling Europe and the rest of the world, you can figure this out on your own.

Writing on Truth Social, he said, quote, All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you.

Number one, buy from the U.S.

We have plenty.

And number two, build up some delayed courage, go to the straight and just take it.

You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself.

The USA won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us.

Iran has been essentially decimated.

The hard part is done.

Go get your own oil.

So a long statement there, but certainly worth reading.

President Trump challenging the rest of the world.
