US President Donald Trump’s threats to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and launch more severe attacks on Iran aim to control the market and soaring oil prices after the weekend closure in the United States, according to a knowledgeable military source.

Speaking to a Press TV correspondent, the source referred to the US president’s rhetoric over the past two days, stressing that Tehran plans to “surprise him” by not only stepping up its defensive measures but also carrying out several major surprises after the weekend.

Iran’s offensive operations, the source noted, have expanded with the destruction of enemy radars, adding that “harder days await” the United States.
