President Donald Trump vowed to restart bombing Iran if Tehran does not agree to allow free passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

“If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before,” the president wrote on his social-media site.
