Donald Trump posted on social media that the hardworking American taxpayer would provide insurance and pay for US naval escorts to protect oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared the waterway was closed, their response to the illegal US and Israeli attack on the people of Iran.
