Trump Issues Stark Warning to Iran, Seeks to ‘Open’ Cuba

US President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to Iran, threatening “very tough” action to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons and sparking a devastating global conflict. Asserting “complete control” over the Strait of Hormuz, Trump claimed a US naval blockade is costing Iran $500 million daily while ensuring the international waterway remains free of transit fees. He further vowed that Washington would confiscate and destroy any highly enriched uranium currently held by the Iranian government. Shifting focus to the Caribbean, the President dismissed rumors that deploying the USS Nimitz was meant to intimidate Havana. Instead, he outlined an ambitious plan to “open Cuba” to returning citizens and foreign investors, seeking a historic diplomatic breakthrough where previous administrations have failed.
