Trump told Fox News he would take control of the Strait of Hormuz or Iran's oil industry if Iran interferes with the waterway, using profanity-laced language — this happened as Tehran claimed to have closed the shipping lane Saturday in response to Israeli strikes on Lebanon. The threat came hours before JD Vance headed to Switzerland for peace talks aimed at adding details to the interim ceasefire agreement signed days earlier. The closure of this critical shipping lane matters because roughly 20% of global oil passes through it, and blocking it would drive energy prices sharply higher across the world economy. What's less clear from the headline: whether Trump's threat was a negotiating tactic to pressure Iran back to the table, or reflects a genuine shift toward escalation despite the nascent peace deal. (It's also worth noting that U.S. Central Command and shipping data have disputed Iran's claims about actually closing the strait.)
