In a phone interview with the network, Trump claimed that the blockade was putting pressure on Iran and said he was in no hurry to resolve the conflict.

“If Oman gets in the way we’ll bomb the s—— out of them,” Trump threatened, referring to US efforts to enforce iron fist control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump also claimed that the Iranians are “good poker players, but they’re dying.”

Regarding US munitions used against Iran, Trump claimed that the weapons used so far “is peanuts.”

Trump further said that while the US has many mid-level weapons, some of its more advanced weapons, including air-defense systems, were “given away” to Ukraine by former US president Joe Biden.
