Trump Threatens Iran Bombing and Hormuz Control Over Nuclear Stalemate

President Trump told Fox News on June 21 that the U.S. could resume bombing Iran and "take over" the Strait of Hormuz if negotiations falter—the sharpest public pressure since both countries signed a 14-point nuclear memorandum four days earlier. The threat came as Iran's Foreign Ministry declared deep mistrust of Trump over Lebanon and as his envoy prepared for first-round talks in Switzerland. Whether the coercive signal hardens Iranian resistance remains the core diplomatic risk.
