Trump: Severe escalation of tensions is still an option Nothing bad can happen from what we are doing; nothing bad. The Strait of Hormuz is open right now, and we have control over it. We removed the mines from all of the Strait of Hormuz! They can cause problems, but they are bankrupt. They don’t have money. Iran is completely bankrupt. They don’t pay their own soldiers’ salaries. Iran’s inflation rate has reached 309 percent. Soon you’ll find out what we are going to do. #luka
