Trump: We will give Iran a harsh lesson. We have run out of patience with it.
UKMTO reports that a tanker was struck by an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, citing a verified source. Authorities are investigating the incident. Vessels have been advised to transit with caution and report suspicious activity to UKMTO.
Trump on the Houthis: The Houthis are behaving very badly. I thought they had learned their lesson a year ago when we bombed the hell out of them and then stopped at their request. They were quiet for a long time, but now they've reemerged, probably at Iran's behest, attacking Saudi Arabia and deliberately trying to drive up oil prices, possibly ahead of the U.S. elections. Iran is a failing nation with no navy, no air force, the world's worst economy, and 301% inflation. Someone should explain to the Houthis that I'm not running in these elections. I've already won by a massive landslide, but I'll still be here afterward, and I will never forget!
