Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said at the White House: "The Islamic Republic is not going to have nuclear weapons. We cannot allow that."

He added that if the Islamic Republic were to acquire nuclear weapons, "a nuclear war will break out in the Middle East, and that war will come here, that war will go to Europe." The President of the United States emphasized: "We cannot allow such a thing to happen, and it will not happen. It is not going to happen."

Trump also spoke about the blockade of Iran's southern ports by the U.S., stating: "We have complete control over the Strait of Hormuz. This blockade has been 100 percent effective. No one has been able to pass through. It's like a steel wall." He added: "No ship has been able to pass without our approval. The Navy has done an incredible job. No ship goes to Iran or leaves Iran without our approval."

Regarding Iran's enriched uranium, Trump said: "We are taking very highly enriched uranium. We don't need it. Probably after we take it, we will destroy it, but we will not allow them (Islamic Republic officials) to have it."

On Thursday, Donald Trump told reporters at the White House that the United States does not seek to impose tolls in the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier, Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, announced that the implementation of a toll collection system in the Strait of Hormuz by the Islamic Republic would make reaching a diplomatic agreement impossible.
