Trump: Iran Attacks Ships, Talks Are Over

President Donald Trump has issued a direct warning to Iran. He says any Iranian attack on ships in the Strait of Hormuz will end all diplomatic talks. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway in the Middle East. About 20% of the world's oil passes through it. A ship attack there would disrupt global oil supplies. Trump's statement raises tensions in the region. The U.S. and Iran have been in indirect talks over Iran's nuclear program. The president is now linking the safety of ships to the future of those negotiations. No specific threats from Iran have been reported. But the warning is clear: any military action in the strait will end diplomacy.
