Iran's Strait of Hormuz shooting "breach of agreement"... "No more nice guys!"

President Donald Trump condemned Iran's "complete violation of our ceasefire agreement" for firing on ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday the 18th, suggesting strong military action by saying "it is time to end Iran."
These remarks came the day after President Trump chaired a Situation Room meeting following reports of Iran's maritime attack. The meeting was reportedly attended by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Envoy Steve Witkoff, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Kain.
President Trump stated on Truth Social on Sunday morning the 19th, "Iran fired yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz. This is a complete violation of our ceasefire agreement! A number of them were aimed at French ships and British cargo ships."
He said, "That's disrespectful, isn't it? My spokespersons are heading to Islamabad, Pakistan. They are scheduled to arrive there tomorrow evening for negotiations."
This confirms that the second ceasefire negotiations will take place in Pakistan. It also confirms that President Trump, who had initially indicated he might attend the meeting himself in anticipation of a final ceasefire agreement, has had his schedule changed due to Iran's provocative military actions.
President Trump pointed out, "Iran recently announced it would blockade the strait, which is strange because the strait is already blockaded by our measures."
He explained, "They are helping us without realizing it. If the passage is blocked, they are the ones losing $500 million a day! The United States suffers no losses at all. In fact, even at this moment, numerous ships are heading to the United States, Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska to be loaded with cargo, thanks to the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which always wants to be the 'strong one'!"
He said, "We are making a very fair and reasonable offer, and we hope they accept it. If not, the United States will destroy all power plants and all bridges in Iran."
The two-week ceasefire is set to expire on the 22nd. Before the ceasefire was declared, the U.S. military had warned that it would bomb Iran's infrastructure facilities.
President Trump emphasized, "No more NICE GUY! They will collapse in an instant and surrender easily. If they do not accept this offer, I will personally handle what other presidents should have done to Iran for the past 47 years, and it will be a great honor for me," he threatened.
At the end of his statement, President Trump stressed, "It is time to end Iran's killing machine!"
