BlockBeats News, April 19th, Trump tweeted, "Iran fired upon the Strait of Hormuz yesterday - this is a blatant violation of our ceasefire agreement! Many weapons were aimed at a French ship and a British cargo vessel. Not very friendly, is it? My representatives will travel to Islamabad, Pakistan - they will arrive there tomorrow night for negotiations."
"Iran recently announced the closure of the strait, which is very strange because our blockade has already achieved that. They inadvertently helped us while they suffered losses due to the closure of the passage, losing $500 million every day! The United States has suffered no losses. In fact, many ships are now heading to the U.S. states of Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska to load cargo, all thanks to the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who always want to play the role of hardliners! We have proposed a very fair and reasonable agreement, and I hope they accept it, because if they don't, the U.S. will destroy every power plant and every bridge in Iran. No more Mr. Nice Guy! They will capitulate quickly, very quickly. If they do not accept the agreement, I will be honored to take the necessary actions that should have been taken by other presidents over the past 47 years against Iran. It's time to end Iran's killing machine!"
