On Wednesday, Iran seized at least two ships in the waterway.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the Greek-owned Epaminondas and the Francesca were fired on before being escorted to Iranian waters, while a third ship, the Euphoria, remains stranded.
Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum reported that Trump dismissed the rumoured three-to-five-day window for the extended ceasefire as “not true.”
Trump said he is “not in a rush” and wants the best deal, adding that the US military blockade “scares the Iranians more than the bombing.”
Leavitt confirmed this, telling reporters: “The president has not set a deadline himself. Ultimately, he will dictate the timetable.”
She concluded that the administration understands Iran is in a “very weak position” and that “the cards are in President Trump’s hands.”
