US President Donald Trump warns Iran against actions that could disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and says Washington has options for controlling the sea route. According to NDTV, Trump states the United States could take control of the Strait of Hormuz and impose tolls, framing the move as a response to potential escalation involving Iran. He also warns that Iran risks “severe consequences” if shipping is disrupted or if Tehran-backed proxies intensify attacks in the region. The remarks link Iran’s conduct and the activities of allied or supported regional groups to the stability of maritime traffic through one of the world’s most strategically important waterways. NDTV reports that Trump’s comments emphasize the possibility of new US strikes should proxies escalate. The statement presents a conditional threat tied to both disruption of commerce and increased regional attacks, while the specific timing and scope of any action are not detailed in the available coverage.
