On Saturday, Iran had claimed that it was closing the Strait of Hormuz over Israel’s fighting in Lebanon. The U.S. military asserted that ships were still flowing through the vital shipping passage.

Trump told Fox News on Sunday that he was prepared to launch attacks on the country if they closed the Strait again.

“We may take over the Strait if we have to. I’ll blow the s–t out of them,” he said.

Trump also told Fox that the U.S. would collect 20 percent of the oil as a toll if it were to take over the Strait of Hormuz.

On Truth Social, the president similarly laid out his threat to start bombing Iran if it did not restrain Hezbollah proxies in Lebanon.

“Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he threatened.

His new profanity-ridden threat comes as Vice President JD Vance is in Switzerland meeting with Iranian negotiators to iron out a deal. Vance has described the meeting as a “technical negotiation” that would “figure out what matters most to the respective parties, to settle those issues, to solve those issues.”

While his boss has threatened to begin a new bombing campaign, Vance has tried to downplay the risk that Irsaeli fighting in Lebanon could have on U.S. negotiations with Iran.

“We’ve seen great progress over the last couple of days in ensuring that the cease-fire holds in Lebanon,” he told reporters. “These things are always a little bit messy.”

The president has been spiraling as his “deal” with Iran has received bipartisan blowback, as the terms of the deal are largely the same as they were before Trump launched his war on Feb. 28.

Some differences include the terms of the Strait of Hormuz, which was open to trade before the war but will now reopen to toll-free commercial transit for 60 days. The U.S. will also lift sanctions on Iran, freeing up $300 billion for them.
