Caption: Trump Warns Iran Over Strait Of Hormuz As Oil Prices Fall. President Donald Trump has warned Iran it will be "hit very hard" if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened soon, as hopes of a breakthrough in talks pushed oil prices lower. Trump said negotiations were progressing after senior US officials reported advances in discussions involving Iran and Oman aimed at restoring shipping through the strategic waterway. The price of Brent crude fell to a three-week low, dropping below 80 dollars a barrel while US oil prices also declined on expectations that supply disruptions could soon ease. Despite the market's optimism, previous diplomatic efforts have failed to end the conflict, leaving energy markets volatile. The US military said the southern route through the Strait of Hormuz remains open to commercial shipping. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
