Trump tells fuel-starved countries to fight to free Strait of Hormuz
President Donald Trump called on nations feeling the strain from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to fight and fix the situation themselves.
Trump made the statement in a Truth Social post on Tuesday, calling out the United Kingdom in particular.
"All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT," Trump wrote.
"You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!" he added.

Trump accuses France of closing airspace to Israel-bound planes: 'VERY UNHELPFUL'
President Donald Trump lashed out at France for allegedly closing its airspace to planes bound for Israel and loaded with military supplies.
Trump made the statement in a post on Truth Social, ominously saying that the U.S. will "remember" France's move.
"The Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory. France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the “Butcher of Iran,” who has been successfully eliminated!" Trump wrote.
"The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!" he added.
The statement came a day after Spain blocked U.S. military aircraft involved in the Iran conflict from using its airspace.

Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei mourns IRGC Navy commander
Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei on Monday mourned IRGC Navy Chief Commodore Alireza Tangsiri, calling him a “brave commander” who “attained martyrdom after years of struggle,” according to state news agency IRNA.
Khamenei also described Tangsiri as courageous and central to Iran’s role in the Persian Gulf, adding that he “died for his country” so its military “may continue on the path of Iran’s maritime authority and resistance, stronger and more firmly than in the past.”
Tangsiri, 64, died of injuries sustained while on duty, the IRGC said, after working to strengthen Iran’s coastal defenses, though Israel says he was killed in an airstrike targeting a naval base in Bandar Abbas.
This marks only the fourth public written message from Khamenei since succeeding his father, who died in a strike Feb. 28.
