"We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East. These objectives include completely degrading Iran's missile capabilities and destroying the country's defense industrial base."
"The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it - The United States does not! If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn't be necessary once Iran's threat is eradicated."
Trump stated that the US is nearing its military objectives in Iran, which include degrading missile capabilities and eliminating naval and air forces. He ruled out a ceasefire while keeping the option for ground troops open. The response from Iran to a potential pause in US strikes remains uncertain, especially after recent attacks on its infrastructure. Trump emphasized the need for other nations to secure the Strait of Hormuz, indicating that the US will assist if necessary but believes it should not be required once the Iranian threat is neutralized.
