Transcript

President Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, saying their ships will be "immediately eliminated" if they approach the U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.

The blockade went into effect recently, and Trump has ordered the U.S. Navy to intercept any vessels that have paid Iran for safe passage. This escalation follows failed peace talks over the weekend, raising tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
