Report alleges Trump made threatening remarks toward Iranian negotiators during Fox News call amid Strait of Hormuz tensions

According to a Raw Story report, U.S.President Donald Trump allegedly made highly aggressive remarks toward Iranian peace negotiators during a phone call with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst.The comments were discussed on air shortly after the call and came amid escalating tensions surrounding a tentative U.S.–Iran peace framework.

The article states that the United States and Iran had recently agreed to a provisional 60-day arrangement aimed at establishing a more durable peace agreement.

As part of ongoing diplomatic efforts, Vice President JD Vance reportedly traveled to Switzerland to meet with an Iranian delegation that included senior political and diplomatic figures.

At the same time, Iranian military officials had announced threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, citing alleged violations of the tentative agreement.In this context, Trump is reported to have warned Iranian officials in strongly worded terms.

According to Yingst’s account, Trump told Iranian representatives that if they proceeded with closing the Strait of Hormuz, they would face severe consequences, including the statement, “you won’t have a country.” The report further claims Trump used explicit language, saying negotiators “won’t even make it back to your f---ing country.

” Additional remarks attributed to the conversation suggested the possibility of intensified military action, though these statements are presented as part of the reported exchange rather than independently verified quotes.

The article notes that it is unclear whether the comments should be interpreted as literal threats of assassination or as rhetorical escalation amid high-stakes diplomacy.

It also references past instances of Iranian officials being targeted in regional conflicts, although these references are part of broader context rather than confirmed links to the current situation.Overall, the report highlights rising geopolitical tensions and the volatility surrounding ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran.

More bluster from the guy. Predictable. Just escalates things for… what? Power? Some twisted sense of ‘strength’? Peace talks are already a joke. This whole thing’s a disaster waiting to happen. Typical.
