The President of the United States, Donald Trump, declared on Tuesday that the war against Iran will not last “much longer.” In an interview with The New York Times, he stated that they are currently “beating up” Iranian forces. Trump also mentioned that the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for oil transit, will “automatically” open once U.S. troops withdraw from the region. “We are not going to be there much longer,” the president assured, suggesting a possible reduction of U.S. military presence in the area. This statement comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East, where the U.S. military presence has been a subject of debate. Several analysts have pointed out that the situation in the region remains volatile, despite Trump’s claims of an imminent resolution to the conflict.
