US President Donald Trump has urged Iran to 'just give up' and abandon its nuclear program. The statement comes amid escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump described Washington's blockade of Iranian ports as a success and called on Tehran to 'just give up'. He said the measures are aimed at forcing Iran into diplomatic negotiations.
Iran's military, however, warned of 'unprecedented action' if the blockade continues. They stated that 'the restraint shown by armed forces so far has been intended to give diplomacy a chance'.
The standoff in the Strait of Hormuz has caused a sharp rise in global oil prices. Oil prices have surged above $120 per barrel, with average gas prices in the US hitting a four-year high.
