WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Washington was in "very good shape" in its war on Iran and the U.S. was "going to look very strongly at the straits."
The war has rattled global markets. Raising the stakes for the global economy, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has said it would block oil shipments from the Gulf unless the U.S. and Israeli attacks cease.
"We're just riding free range over that country, and now we're going to look very strongly at the straits. The straits are in great shape," Trump told reporters on Wednesday.
In comments to CBS News earlier this week about the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said he was "thinking about taking it over."
