US President Donald Trump has escalated his rhetoric against Iran, stating that the country would be 'blown off the face of the Earth' if it attacked US vessels in the Gulf. This warning comes amid heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where the US Navy has initiated operations to ensure safe passage for shipping. Oil prices have recently fluctuated, with Brent crude dropping to $113.76 a barrel after a previous surge driven by supply fears. Trump dismissed polls indicating low public support for military action against Iran as 'fake,' arguing that they misrepresent public opinion on Iran's nuclear ambitions. In response to allegations of planning attacks on oil facilities in the UAE, Iran has denied any such intentions, attributing rising tensions to US military activities in the region. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing clashes reported in the Gulf as both nations navigate their military postures.
