President Trump has threatened Iran with decapitation as uncertainty grows over a possible deal involving the Strait of Hormuz. The threat comes as Iran reportedly seeks to bar US and Israeli ships from the strategic waterway as part of any agreement.
According to CBS News, Trump's warning was made as questions surround the future of the deal and the strait, through which a significant share of the world's oil passes. The report did not provide further details on the exact nature of the threat or the timing.
The Times of India, citing the same developing story, indicated that Iran wants the exclusion of US and Israeli vessels from the strait to be a condition of any deal. The two reports together suggest heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran over the vital shipping route.
Neither report offered additional specifics about the proposed deal, the status of negotiations, or how either side has responded to the other's position. The situation remains fluid, with the threat and Iran's demand appearing to complicate any potential agreement.
This is a developing story. Further details are expected as more information becomes available.
