00:18A stunning message from Washington.
00:22Go get your own oil.
00:24That's U.S. President Donald Trump sending a blunt warning to allies, including the
00:31United Kingdom, as the Strait of Hormuz remains locked and global tensions rise.
00:38In a fiery post, Trump lashed out at countries that stayed out of the war on Iran, saying
00:45if they want oil, they have two options, buy it from the United States or go to the Strait
00:51of Hormuz and take it themselves.
00:54The message didn't stop there.
00:56Trump made it clear America may not step in anymore, telling allies it's time to learn
01:03how to fight for themselves, a major shift in U.S. global posture.
01:09At the center of it all, the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway, but one that carries nearly
01:15a fifth of the world's oil.
01:17And right now, Iran holds the leverage, disrupting shipping, driving up prices, shaking global
01:24markets.
01:25Trump has also issued warnings.
01:28If a deal is not reached soon, the U.S. could escalate, targeting Iran's oil infrastructure,
01:35including Karg Island.
01:37Even desalination plants, now part of the threat calculus.
01:41But behind the tough talk, a different plan is emerging.
01:46Reports suggest Trump is ready to end the war, even if Hormuz remains closed, focusing instead
01:53on weakening Iran and shifting pressure to diplomacy.
01:57Tehran, meanwhile, stands firm, saying its strikes are aimed only at aggressors and defending its
02:05actions as a response to foreign attacks.
02:07The message, Iran will not back down easily.
02:12A war nearing a turning point, allies under pressure, and a global oil route still in limbo.
02:19Trump's message is clear.
02:21However, this time, everyone may be on their own.
