Iran live updates: IRGC says Strait of Hormuz will 'never' revert to pre-war state

Amid continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump posted to social media on Tuesday telling other countries to either purchase U.S. oil or "build up some delayed courage" and "just TAKE IT" from the Strait.

"I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT," he wrote on his social media platform. "Go get your own oil!"

"You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us," he added, echoing his past rhetoric where he has claimed that U.S. contributions to NATO have not been reciprocated.

In the social media post, Trump claimed that Iran had been "essentially, decimated." In a second post, he said Iran had been "successfully eliminated."

The president named the U.K. in his first post, whose leaders he has frequently criticized for their refusal to heed his calls for help. In his second post, he called France "VERY UNHELPFUL" for allegedly preventing planes with military supplies from flying over France en route to Israel.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she thinks President Donald Trump "would be quite interested in calling" on Middle East allies like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to pay for the costs of the war in Iran.

"I won't get ahead of him on that. But certainly it's an idea that I know that he has, and something that I think you'll hear more from him on," she said in response to a reporter's question at Monday's White House briefing.

President Donald Trump told the New York Post on Monday that the U.S. is talking to new leaders in Iran, without providing more details.

"There has been total regime change because the regimes of the past are gone and we're dealing with a whole new set of people," Trump said. "And thus far, they've been much more reasonable."

The president also said the U.S. response to Iranian strikes on an Israeli oil refinery would be seen soon.

"You'll see shortly," Trump told the paper when asked about his response.

Trump added that the U.S. is waiting to see if Iran's Parliamentary Leader Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf will work with the U.S., and he claimed that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was "seriously injured."

"We're gonna find out," Trump told The Post when asked about Ghalibaf. "I'll let you know that in about a week."

"Nobody's heard from him," Trump said of the younger Khamenei. "He's very seriously injured."

Asked if he was still alive, Trump said that he "probably" was.

"We don't know. We think probably yes, but in extraordinarily bad shape," he said.

Spain's defense minister says the country has closed its airspace to U.S. planes involved in the Iran war.

Spain had already said the U.S. couldn't use jointly operated military bases in the country for operations related to the conflict.

Defense Minister Margarita Robles said Monday that the same logic applied to the use of Spanish airspace in the conflict.

Spain's government under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has been Europe's most critical voice of U.S. and Israeli military actions in the Middle East.
