The jab comes as the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz continues to choke global supply lines, leaving the UK and other non-combatant nations grappling with severe petrol and gas deficits.

He recently suggested that the world could either “go get oil from inflamed Iran” or purchase it directly from American reserves at a premium.Trump also reiterated that the US could unilaterally seize Iranian oil fields and take control of the Strait of Hormuz by force. He previously vowed to strike Iranian targets “20 times harder” if the maritime disruptions do not cease immediately.
