President Donald Trump appeared to threaten Iranian peace negotiators with assassination Sunday in a “bonkers” phone call with Fox News’ Trey Yingst, the details of which Yingst revealed on air just moments later.Last week, Trump officially agreed to a tentative peace deal with Iran, giving the two parties 60 days to finalize a more permanent agreement to end hostilities. Vice President JD Vance arrived in Switzerland Sunday to meet with an Iranian delegation of negotiators led by Speaker Mahammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghci.However, after Iranian military officials announced on Saturday that they would, again, close the Strait of Hormuz due to violations of the tentative peace deal, Trump suggested, Yingst said, that the Iranian negotiators may not “make it back” to their home country.“President Trump tells Fox News he spoke with Iranian officials overnight and said ‘you close it and you won’t have a country,’” Yingst said, recalling his phone call with Trump held moments earlier. “He went on to tell these officials, ‘you won’t even make it back to your f---ing country.’”Whether Trump’s remarks suggested he may order the Iranian negotiators assassinated before their return home remains unclear, though multiple Iranian negotiators have been assassinated throughout the duration of the U.S. war against Iran, such as Ali Larijani, the former speaker of the Iranian Parliament who was killed in March in an Israeli airstrike."We'll take over the rest of your country ... I'll blow the shit out of them" -- here is Trey Yingst's entire segment about the bonkers phone call he says he had with Trump this morning that apparently included threats to assassinate Iran's leadership, impose draconian US tolls… pic.twitter.com/RLi9bos14Q— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 21, 2026
President Donald Trump unleashed a flurry of threats, promises and ideas Sunday in a phone call with Fox News’ Trey Yingst, the details of which left one independent journalist in utter shock.The phone call occurred Sunday morning, just one day after Iranian military officials announced they would be closing the Strait of Hormuz again, citing violations of the tentative peace deal agreed to by Washington and Tehran last week. As Trump’s coveted peace deal imploded in real time, the president issued a series of threats and statements that independent journalist Aaron Rupar described as “bonkers.”“President Trump [told] Fox News he spoke with Iranian officials overnight and said ‘you close it and you won’t have a country,’” Yingst said on Fox News, recounting his phone call with the president that occurred just 20 minutes earlier. “He went on to tell these officials, ‘you won’t even make it back to your f---ing country.’"Trump also responded to recent comments from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who said that Iran would not give up its right to enrich uranium, which has a wide list of non-military applications.“President Trump [told] Fox News [Pezeshkian] better ‘watch his mouth,’ he better ‘shape up or we’ll take over the rest of the country,’” Yingst said, recalling his call with Trump.“He said ‘I have a 60-day option, and I can do whatever I want after that option,’ so again, President Trump leaving a variety of considerations on the table.”According to Yingst, Trump also floated a new idea – one that would involve a U.S. takeover of the Strait of Hormuz.“President Trump [told] Fox News that the U.S. may take over the strait in the future, if they have to, and collect tolls,” Yingst said this weekend. “The president described this as the United States being the ‘guardian angel’ of the Strait of Hormuz and the Middle East, and the president said that would involve the U.S. taking 20% of the oil that passes through the strait.”"We'll take over the rest of your country ... I'll blow the shit out of them" -- here is Trey Yingst's entire segment about the bonkers phone call he says he had with Trump this morning that apparently included threats to assassinate Iran's leadership, impose draconian US tolls… pic.twitter.com/RLi9bos14Q— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 21, 2026
