WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald J Trump joined Fox News' 'Sunday Morning Futures' via telephone on Sunday, April 12, to issue a definitive ultimatum to the Iranian regime following the pause in face-to-face negotiations. 

During the wide-ranging interview, the president revealed he is considering a permanent symbolic rebranding of the region’s geography to the "Gulf of Trump" to reflect the total shift in regional power.

While he noted he was still weighing the decision, he made it clear that the military reality on the ground is already absolute.

Contrary to reports of a final diplomatic breakdown in Pakistan, the president insisted that Iran hasn't left the bargaining table. 



Trump credited his own aggressive rhetoric for the regime's continued presence, specifically citing his recent social media posts regarding the potential destruction of Iranian civilization as the primary motivator for their participation.

"I predict they come back and they give us everything we want. I want everything," Trump told Fox News. "I don’t want 90%, I don’t want 95%. I told my people I want everything!"

Minesweepers deployed for total naval blockade



To enforce this new "everything" mandate, the president confirmed that the US is moving forward with a total naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

While he admitted the process would take some time to fully implement, he revealed that additional traditional minesweepers are already being deployed.

This effort includes international cooperation, with Britain and other allied countries contributing vessels to the clearance mission.



The president pointed to a sign of American strength as the blockade begins: two US ships successfully transited the strait on Saturday with zero interference.

"No action was taken against them," Trump said, using the incident to bolster his claim that the Iranian military is "obliterated" and their radar systems are "useless."

Threat to destroy the Iranian water supply

When asked if further destruction was planned should Iran refuse to meet his 100% concession demand, the president gave a chilling affirmative.

He identified the regime's remaining critical infrastructure as the next targets, specifically pointing to desalinization plants and electric generating plants that sustain the civilian population.



"The only thing left really is their water, which would be very devastating to hit," Trump admitted.

"I would hate to do it, but it's their water... We could have them all down." This threat of a total national blackout and water crisis serves as the final "stick" in the president's strategy to force a total surrender.
