I couldn't care less," Trump told CNBC's Eamon Javers in a phone interview when asked about reporting that Iranian negotiators will stop communications with the U.S. due to Israel's military operations in Lebanon. Trump told CNBC that he was "going to ask" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "what's going on with Lebanon." He also said he wasn't worried about oil prices, which spiked following the report in Iranian state media that Tehran is vowing to "completely block" the Strait of Hormuz in addition to halting negotiations. "I think the oil will be dropping like a rock in the very near, you know, the very near distance," Trump said. This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.
