In a lengthy new post on Truth Social, he says that "the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not". BBC reported.
He says that "at some point" an agreement on free passage will be reached, but "Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, 'There may be a mine out there somewhere,' that nobody knows about but them."
In the same post Trump also says that he's "instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran", and that the US Navy is going to start " destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits".
"No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas," he says, adding "any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!"
"The Blockade will begin shortly," he says.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is pushing back against Iran's near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz, stating that the key shipping route for oil and gas "has never been Iran’s to close or restrict".
Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, the UAE's minister of industry and boss of Abu Dhabi state-owned oil company, says on social media: "Any attempt to do so is not a regional issue; it is the disruption of a global economic lifeline and a direct threat to the energy, food and health security of every nation."
Since the US and Israel launched military action against Iran on 28 February, Tehran has threatened to set vessels "ablaze" if they attempt to use the waterway. This has brought shipments to a virtual halt and driven up global oil and gas prices.
Al Jaber says: "Setting such a precedent is illegal, dangerous, and unacceptable. The world simply cannot afford it and must not allow it."
