President Trump has confronted a reporter on the White House South Lawn amid Marine One, dismissing claims that Iran ignores U.S. threats on the Strait of Hormuz.
The reporter said, “Iran isn’t listening to your Strait threats,” adding, “Because it’s still blocked.”
Trump shot back, “How do you know? You don’t know anything. Who are you with? ABC News? NBC? Well, it’s fake news.”
He boasted, “We win no matter what. We’ve defeated their military. They have no navy. 158 ships are underwater.”
The tense exchange underscores fragile U.S.-Iran talks, with Iran restricting the vital oil route since February despite a two-week ceasefire.
