US President Donald Trump has warned Iran of major military strikes if Tehran fails to seize what he described as a final opportunity to reach a deal with Washington, while also demanding that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened.

“If they back out again, they’re going to get hit really hard,” Trump said, warning that Iran was aware of the consequences of failing to reach an agreement.

He also said the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened “very soon” or Iran would face a severe military response. His remarks come amid heightened tensions surrounding the strategic waterway, a vital route for global energy shipments.

Referring to previous negotiations with Iran, Trump claimed the US had been preparing for “a tremendous attack, the biggest since World War II” before Tehran approached Washington and requested talks.
