US President Donald Trump has indicated that American military action against Iran may still be a possibility, despite the recent reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that Iran is experiencing significant economic and military strain, which limits its capabilities. Trump also stated that he is not considering immediate negotiations with Tehran, leaving the door open for further US actions in the region.
He claimed the country is struggling to support its troops and has suffered a major loss of capacity. “They’re not paying their troops. The US president also ruled out immediate diplomatic talks with Tehran. Trump was also asked whether Russia could face punishment if Moscow continued its relationship with Iran.
Trump said Iran is facing serious problems after the latest confrontation. They’re in deep trouble,” Trump said. “They are in deep trouble, they have very little capacity, the strait of Ormuz is open, it doesn’t mean we finished with the military,” Trump said. He said Washington was not looking to meet Iranian officials as the Strait of Hormuz remains open. “There’s not a lot to speak with Iran, we are not looking to meet or anything, the strait is open,” Trump said. He said the issue would depend on Russia’s actions. “It depends, I think Russia has behaved quite well- so far regarding the Strait of Ormuz,” Trump said.
