🚨 Trump & Iran — Rising Tensions

U.S.–Iran standoff intensifies around the Strait of Hormuz:

• A widely shared headline says Trump warned Iran that if it closed the Strait of Hormuz it could face war, highlighting how strategically vital that waterway is for global oil flows. This message has gotten strong reactions across social feeds. �

• Independent reporting notes Trump’s broader messaging about Iran — he has linked diplomatic negotiations with the risk of wider conflict, and U.S. naval assets are being deployed as part of deterrence. �
