- President Donald Trump answered reporters' questions in the Oval Office on Thursday about the conflict with Iran. Asked about negotiations with Iran, Trump said "we have been speaking to them, but they don't even know who's leading the country."
Reporters also questioned the president about the Strait of Hormuz. "Right now, we have it closed," Trump replied before adding "we have total control of the strait." He explained he refused to let Iran reopen the strait because "I don't want them to make $500 million a day until they settle this thing."
Earlier on Thursday, Trump posted on social media he had ordered the U.S. military to “shoot and kill” small Iranian boats that deploy mines to choke traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The announcement arrived shortly after the U.S. military seized another tanker associated with the smuggling of Iranian oil.
That ratcheted up a standoff with Tehran over the strait through which 20% of all crude oil ...

The scale of the operation was impossible to miss. Greater Manchester Police flooded the streets in numbers more often associated with a major city showdown like a Manchester derby, not a short protest march involving a few hundred people on each side.
The city centre was effectively split in two, trams were halted for hours, roads were sealed off, and entire corridors of movement were controlled by lines of officers as the policing presence came to dominate the day.
