“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just take it,” he said Tuesday morning.
Trump went on to claim that Iran has “been, essentially, decimated” and that the “hard part” has been done by the U.S.
The U.S. President’s message comes as high fuel prices and stockpile concerns are taking a toll worldwide.

According to price-tracking service GasBuddy and the American Automobile Association, for the first time since 2022, the national average retail price of gasoline crossed $4 per gallon. This marks an increase of more than $1 from before the Iran war began on Feb. 28.
A Kuwait-flagged oil tanker anchored off the coast of Dubai was struck by Iranian missiles in the early hours of Tuesday.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center, run by the British military, also reported the strike, saying the vessel was 31 nautical miles (57 kilometers) northwest of Dubai.
Maritime intelligence firm TankerTrackers.com said the ship was carrying around 1.2 million barrels of Saudi crude and 800,000 barrels of Kuwaiti crude, and had completed loading last month.
The attack came after Trump delivered a threat to Iran’s energy infrastructure and Kharg Island on Monday.
Trump said the U.S. military action, if carried out, would be “in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old regime’s 47-year reign of terror.”
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that ensuring safe passage for oil tankers is not one of the Administration’s “core objectives.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, meanwhile, has said the Strait will “reopen one way or another” after the military operation concludes.
