“This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat.

The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment,” he wrote.

Earlier on Friday (Jul 31), Trump threatened more strikes on Iran, demanding reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking to reporters at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, he said “we just want to win” in Iran, adding that the US would hit the Islamic Republic “very hard” until they couldn’t take it anymore.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that Tehran is ready to respond “decisively” to any US aggression.
During separate phone conversations with Pakistan’s army chief and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Araghchi discussed rising regional tensions and accused Washington of destabilising actions. He reiterated that Iran remains prepared to defend its sovereignty, territorial integrity and national security.
