Trump: 'Iran has been essentially decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!'

President Trump posted on Truth Social telling US allies they should go to the Strait of Hormuz and 'just take' fuel themselves. He declared 'Iran has been, essentially, decimated.

He criticized countries that 'refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran.'

The warning formalises Iran's near-total information lockdown.
