00:27while also touting U.S. influence over the Strait of Hormuz.
00:30And now my question is, do I make a deal with them or do I finish them off?
00:34That's the only question. Do I make a deal or do I finish them off?
00:38Remember, we now control the Hormuz Strait. They get nothing. We get everything.

00:49but that Tehran will not change its positions, even if Trump does order a resumption of attacks on Iran.

01:01along with about 10,000 military personnel to the Gulf region.
