Washington, April 02 (QNA) - US President Donald Trump affirmed in a speech that the war on Iran is on the cusp of ending, with core objectives nearing completion in Iran.
Trump added that Washington is monitoring key targets amid ongoing negotiations to end the conflict. At the same time, he warned of the dangers of Iran possessing nuclear weapons, characterizing such a development as an intolerable threat.
Regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Trump urged US allies to take responsibility for the effort. He emphasized that the most difficult phase is over and that once the conflict concludes, the Strait of Hormuz will "automatically open."
