President Donald Trump doubled down Monday on his defence of the Strait of Hormuz shutdown, calling it the smartest geopolitical decision in modern history even as petrol prices climbed and US-Iran peace talks showed signs of irreversible breakdown. The comments, made from the Oval Office, drew immediate disbelief from foreign policy experts and allied governments.
