Iran updates: Iran officials push back against Trump's 'economic D-Day' threat

President Donald Trump said formal negotiations with Iran could reopen "maybe at some point" but that the "situation is so good" right now.

Trump claimed the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz except for when Iranians “shoot a drone every once in a while," something he brushed off as a "nuisance value."

"Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and they won't," Trump said, when asked whether he’d restart talks with Iran.

The president then said "a lot of boats" came through the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday night, touting U.S. control over the waterway but notably saying that persistent attacks on vessels are an annoyance, or "nuisance value."

He went on to further tout oil prices, once again claiming that they will further lower "when this is over."

Iran's armed forces Chief of Staff Gen. Ali Abdollahi warned on Wednesday that any countries in the Persian Gulf that offer assistance to the U.S. military will be considered collaborators by Tehran.

"It is unlikely that such a large number of military aircraft, especially refueling planes, would be present at regional bases without the knowledge of the host countries," Abdollahi said in a statement.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke by phone on Tuesday with the United Arab Emirates' national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, after Abu Dhabi accused Iran of launching a new missile attack on the Gulf country -- one that Tehran denied responsibility for.

A statement from the State Department's Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott said that the two officials "discussed a number of regional security issues, including Lebanon, as well as continued U.S.-UAE coordination to hold Iran and its terrorist proxies accountable for ongoing attacks."

"Secretary Rubio underscored the importance of freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz," Pigott said.

The spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry is denying claims that Iran launched missiles at the United Arab Emirates.

"The Foreign Ministry spokesman completely rejected the UAE's claim that Iran launched a missile at the country, expressing regret over the accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and considered this behavior to be contrary to the principle of good neighborliness and disruptive to ongoing efforts to strengthen trust between regional countries and prevent the escalation of insecurity in the region," the spokesman said in a readout posted on Iranian state media FARS.

Earlier, UAE officials said air defenses detected two ballistic missiles approaching from Iran that were "targeting maritime navigation," which fell into the sea.
