President Trump warns Iran over threats
On Sunday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani
warned the United States that it could shut down international oil
shipments in the strategic Strait of Hormuz if Washington continued to
provoke Tehran.
"We have
always guaranteed the security of this strait. Do not play with the
lion's tail; you will regret it forever" Rouhani told diplomats in the
Iranian capital. The Iranian president has previously threatened to
close the strait in response to US President Donald Trump's threat to
stop Iranian oil exports through the waterway.
The strait is
one of the world's most important maritime trade routes and connects the
oil-rich Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean.
However,
President Trump wasn't going to be threatened and he responded with a
very stern warning to Iran never to threaten the United States again,
