January 1, Trump Weighs Iran Options As Standoff Heats Up

Wyatt’s Take

• President Trump is putting Iran on notice and keeping all options on the table.
• American energy security and safe shipping lanes matter more than foreign appeasement.
• Working families pay the price when global troublemakers threaten the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump made it plain he is considering either cutting a deal with Iran or taking stronger steps to end the threat once and for all.

Reporters pressed him on whether a U.S. strike was planned for Sunday, and he shut that rumor down cold.

“Do I Make a Deal With Them, or Do I Finish Them Off?”

The back-and-forth comes as Iran keeps trying to choke off traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for oil headed to American shores and our allies.

Every time the mullahs rattle their swords, gas prices at the pump climb higher for heartland drivers already squeezed by inflation.

Trump has made clear he will not let Iran hold everyday Americans hostage to their power games.

His approach stands in sharp contrast to the years of weak talk and empty sanctions that only emboldened Tehran.

Middle America needs leaders who put U.S. energy independence and secure trade routes ahead of endless overseas entanglements.
