In a shocking and ominous warning, former US President Donald Trump has threatened to take drastic action against Iran if it closes the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway that connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and serves as a vital oil shipping route. Trump's comments come as tensions between the US and Iran escalate, with Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps warning that it may block the strait in response to US sanctions. The former President, known for his unpredictable and hawkish stance on Iran, has also floated the idea of imposing a 20% tax on oil imports to the US, which he claims would help the country's economy. Critics have slammed Trump's proposal as a "Guardian Angel" tax, suggesting it would unfairly burden American consumers with higher energy costs.
