The president of the USA, Donald Trump, reinforced on Friday night, the 27th, that he is winning the war in Iran and that the Persian country needs to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, after calling the important stretch with the largest oil flow the “Trump Strait”. The American leader also said that the incursion into Iran is not a war, but a military operation.
“They need to open the Trump Strait,” said the president in a speech at an event in Miami, after referring to the name change of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America made at the request of the American government.
Trump also said that Iran itself confirmed that negotiations with the US are ongoing, “two days after” the first public denial made by Iranian authorities. According to him, none of Iran’s remaining leaders want to take over the government after the deaths carried out by the US and Israel.
“We are closer than ever to the rise of the Middle East,” Trump said, without specifying what that rise would mean. “We will rid the Middle East of Iran’s radical regime,” he added.
The head of the White House praised the resistance of Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait and commented on the bombings that Iran has carried out against countries in the Persian Gulf. According to the American leader, no one expected the Persian country to attack its neighbors, but only Israel. “They are no longer using their missiles as much as they did at the beginning of the conflict,” Trump said in reference to Iran.
