"We have complete control": Trump on blockade against Iran

Trump says the US has full control over its blockade against Iran, calling it effective. He warns Iran's regional attacks are a "big mistake" and insists he's under no pressure to end the conflict.

"We have complete control... For Iran to shoot at Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, all the different places... I think it was a big mistake. - Donald Trump"

Washington DC, April 24

US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that the United States has full control over its blockade measures against Iran, calling them effective.

He also said that Iran's reported actions in the region, including targeting multiple countries, could be a serious mistake.

Speaking to the reporters in White House, Trump said, "That is very top secret... What we have done with the blockade is amazing, and nobody gets through. Nobody wants to get through; nobody's trying... We have complete control... For Iran to shoot at Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, all the different places, they shot, nobody expected that. They thought they would shoot at Israel at all fairness, but you didn't expect they would be shooting at numerous other countries. I think it was a big mistake. If they're putting mines down, it's a big mistake for them, I will say."

Earlier in a post on Truth Social, Trump said he is under no pressure to end the conflict with Iran, asserting that the country is in a weakened position militarily and economically.

He added that any deal will be made only when it is in the best interest of the United States and its allies.

"For those people, fewer in number now than ever before, that are reading The Failing New York Times, or watching Fake News CNN, that think that I am "anxious" to end the War (if you would even call it that!) with Iran, please be advised that I am possibly the least pressured person ever to be in this position. I have all the time in the World, but Iran doesn't -- The clock is ticking! The reason some of the Media is doing so poorly with Subscribers and Viewers is because they no longer have credibility," the post read.

"Iran's Navy is lying at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is demolished, their Anti Aircraft and Radar Weaponry is gone, their leaders are no longer with us, the Blockade is airtight and strong and, from there, it only gets worse -- Time is not on their side! A Deal will only be made when it's appropriate and good for the United States of America, our Allies and, in fact, the rest of the World. President DONALD J. TRUMP," the post further read.

Trump's tweets are getting more unhinged by the day. "Iran's Navy is lying at the bottom of the Sea"? This is a serious geopolitical situation, not a movie script. India must maintain strategic autonomy and not get dragged into this mess.

I'm not a fan of Iran's regime, but this blockade is causing humanitarian crises. Even India has had to adjust its oil imports and explore other routes. Trump's "I have all the time in the world" attitude is dangerous for global stability.

My family in Gujarat has relatives who work in the Gulf countries. This blockade means higher fuel prices, and less trade for everyone. The US needs to remember that the world doesn't revolve around their political theater. India should push for dialogue.

Trump's "we have complete control" sounds like hubris before a fall. Iran still has proxies and asymmetric capabilities. India's Chabahar port project is a smart hedge against these kind of blockades. We need to keep our options open.
