@Osint613 quoted President Trump saying he is not trying to force Iran to a deal, claiming almost total U.S. control of the Strait of Hormuz and a collapsing Iranian economy, and asking when Iranians will rise up. @TheIranWatcher described the same shift toward regime-change rhetoric.

Verification: Probable

Evidence: Trump quoted on Hormuz control and an Iranian uprising, Trump signaling regime change rather than another Iran deal

Two independent watchlist posts align on Trump’s Hormuz-control and uprising remarks. Neither is Trump’s official account; wording is as quoted by aggregators.
