US EditionTrump: Iran could be hit 'much harder' over oil supply disruption
Trump warned Tehran it would face retaliation twenty times stronger if it disrupts oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz, the route for 31% of global seaborne oil, officials said.
- On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran it would be hit 'TWENTY TIMES HARDER' if it halted oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, triggering a 10% plunge in oil prices Tuesday with U.S. crude at $85.17 and Brent at $88.36 per barrel.
- Citing past military action, Trump said the U.S. has struck more than 5,000 targets since the conflict began and referenced Operation Midnight Hammer alongside Iran's nuclear enrichment program.
- Located between Oman and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz links major Gulf producers and carried roughly 13 million barrels in 2025, about 31% of global seaborne oil flows, while the U.S. Navy is offering to escort oil tankers amid tensions.
- Oil markets surged about 20% on Monday and briefly moved past $100 a barrel before retreating, while Bob McNally, president of Rapidan Energy Group, said 'I think there's a lot of optimism in the market'.
- Trump said the measures will make oil supplies more secure in the long run and keep the Strait of Hormuz safe, adding he is keeping his 2015 promise to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
