Earlier, Trump had made threatening comments against Iran and its new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump had said that Iran will be hit by the US "twenty times harder" than previous strikes if it tries to stop the flow of oil within the Strait of Hormuz. He said that the strikes will make it impossible for the Islamic republic to "ever be built back".
"Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them - But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen!" Trump wrote.
In addition, Trump has threatened Mojtaba Khamenei and said that he will not be able to "live in peace".
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said he is "not happy" with Iran's choice of leader. "I don't believe he can live in peace," Trump said. He has expressed strong disapproval after Iran elected the second son of Ali Khamenei as the new leader.
Prior to Mojtaba Khamenei's appointment, Trump insisted that the US should have a say in selecting the next leader for Iran, similar to past US involvement in Venezuela.
On February 28, the US and Israel launched strikes against Iran that killed its supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and triggered a war that has spread across the Middle East.
