President Trump has sent a stern warning to Iran.
After nearly a week after signing a MOU with Iran, President Trump has warned Iran to stop supporting proxies in Lebanon.
The proxies President Trump is referring to is the Shia Muslim militant group Hezbollah which receives millions of dollars and training from Iran each year.
Recently, Iran has claimed it has closed the Strait of Hormuz due to Israel’s recent attacks targeting Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon.

Fox News reported Trump also made a secondary warning to Iran:
President Donald Trump on Sunday told Fox News that he delivered a stark warning to Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to “blow the s— out of them” should Tehran close the vital waterway.
Trump spoke with Fox News’ chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst, saying he issued the warning directly to the Iranians leadership should the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) close the Strait of Hormuz.
“You close it and you won’t have a country,” Trump said. “You won’t even make it back to your f—— country.”
Trump said 19 million barrels of oil left through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, adding that the U.S. could become the “Guardian Angel” of the waterway and take 20% of the oil.
Trump reiterated his threat to potentially collect tolls for vessels traversing the strait should Iran fail to reach an agreement.
“If they don’t make a deal, we’ll collect tolls,” the president said.

As Trump sent out the warning to Iran, The New York Post reported Vice President JD Vance is in Switzerland attempting to secure a peace deal with Iran:
Vice President JD Vance declared that the Trump administration’s goal is to “transform our relationship” with Iran during his opening remarks in Switzerland at Sunday’s meeting with top negotiators from Tehran.
Vance stressed that in order to do this, Washington needs ironclad commitments from the Islamic Republic to give up its aspirations of obtaining a nuclear weapon — something Tehran has long claimed it isn’t pursuing.
“What the president has asked us to do is turn over a new leaf to transform our relationship with the people of Iran, and to extend an outstretched hand that says to the people of Iran that if your leadership is willing to give up being a driver of regional instability,” Vance said.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif shake hands at the Lake Lucerne Summit.
“If they are willing to give up nuclear weapons ambitions for the long term, then the United States is willing to fundamentally transform our relationship with that country,” he went on. “That is certainly our goal.”
