President Donald Trump has issued a warning to the Islamic Republic of Iran, stating that “death, fire, and fury will reign upon” the Persian state should they interfere with the transportation of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital sea trade route.

Trump claimed that American forces would strike the country “twenty times harder” and will “make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back,” he said in his post to Truth social. The IRGC still seems to think that they are in the driver’s seat, however. They claim that they will be the ones to determine the end of conflict, but that would only be true in the sense that they would choose the date of their surrender.

Trump’s message comes after an Iranian announcement claiming that they would allow nations who would expel American and Israeli diplomats to have free passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

The price of oil futures fell sharply after a climb this weekend, especially after Trump stated that he believed that the U.S.-Israeli coalition was nearing an end to Operation Epic Fury in a press conference on Monday. Trump has said that he believes that the United States is well ahead of its 4 to 5 week schedule to decimate the Iranian regime.
