President Donald Trump just dropped the hammer on the Iranian terror regime, and he’s doing it the exact same way he crushed Venezuela’s socialist dictatorship.
During an interview on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo this morning, President Trump confirmed the United States is launching a complete and total blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Bartiromo asked the President point-blank about the developing operation:
“Mr. President, you’re saying that we will begin the process of blockading any and all ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz. And at some point, we will reach an all being allowed to go in and all being allowed to go out basis. So tell us what you’re trying to accomplish with this blockade, sir.”
Trump made it crystal clear, it’s ALL IN and ALL OUT or nothing at all.
Pres. Trump:
All out—yep. It’s called “all in and all out.” There’ll be a time when we’ll have them all come in and all come out, but it won’t be a percentage. It won’t be a friend of yours, like a country that’s your ally or a country that’s your friend. It’s all or nothing. And that’ll be—that won’t be in too long a distance.
No, we’re just bringing the ships up. We got a lot of ships, so we’re bringing them up. We think that numerous countries are going to be helping us with this also, but we’re putting on a complete blockade.
We’re not going to let Iran make money on selling oil to people that they like and not people that they don’t like, or whatever it is. It’s going to be all or none, and that’s the way it is.
And it’ll be—you saw what we did with Venezuela. It’ll be something very similar to that, but at a higher level.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today, President Trump has already ordered the U.S. Navy to BLOCK any and all ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz effective immediately after Iran defied his nuclear demands and continued its terrorist extortion racket.
