GARDEN CITY, New York, Aug 14 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Friday urged Americans to accept slightly higher gasoline prices as the cost of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and said he would soon declare the Strait of Hormuz a U.S territory.

The comments underscore the growing political risk for Trump as higher fuel prices collide with his campaign promise to lower energy costs, with Democrats already seeking to make the economic fallout from the Iran war an issue heading into the November midterm elections.

In a speech in Garden City, Trump said Americans who had to “pay a tiny little bit more for your gasoline” should remember that this was the cost of ensuring “a very evil country” could not have a nuclear weapon.

“What we’re doing is a great service for the world, not only for ourselves … and we’re really doing a great job,” said Trump, adding he would never apologize for attacking Iran.

Around roughly 20% of global oil and LNG shipments usually pass through the Strait of Hormuz and the potential for long-term disruption has pushed up oil prices.

“After we finish defeating Iran … pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” said Trump, escalating his rhetoric over the vital waterway.

It was unclear how seriously Trump intended the remark or whether it represented a new policy position.

Aug 14 (Reuters) – Two slicks have appeared in Iranian waters, satellite imagery and video verified by Reuters show, as tit-for-tat attacks on oil tankers and other vessels by Iran and the United States spark concerns about environmental damage to the Persian Gulf.

A potential environmental disaster is already unfolding off Oman outside of the Strait of Hormuz where a grounded tanker, the Caroline Bezengi, is leaking Russian crude oil in a protected marine area and has created a massive slick some estimates put at 2,000 square km.

The Caroline Bezengi incident has not been linked to the Iran war.

The two latest slicks are inside the Persian Gulf.

One slick has appeared off the southern tip of Qeshm Island, the large dolphin-shaped island in the Strait of Hormuz close to Iran’s coast, pictures from Copernicus’s ​Sentinel-2 satellites showed.

Wim Zwijnenburg, an environmental open-source researcher at Dutch peace organisation PAX, said the dark color in parts of the slick indicated it was heavy fuel oil, while a lighter diluted slick stretched around 160 km.

A dark, bubbling liquid was spotted washing ashore on the beaches of Suza on Qeshm Island, contrasting with the turquoise water surrounding it, in a video posted on August 11 and verified by Reuters.

August 14 - Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared publicly since the war began. In the absence of a visible Supreme Leader, the regime offered proof of life by the appointments of six battle-hardened commanders and their media-coordinated warnings against Iranians seeking regime change, U.S. and Israeli officials, and Arab states bordering the Persian Gulf. The regime’s loudest threats may also betray its deepest fear: an uprising fueled by Iran’s economic collapse.
