Trump Assures Israel Won't Face Renewed War with Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump stated Wednesday evening that "Israel does not need to worry about a renewed war with Iran" and that he would "take care of Israel." The remarks were made during an interview with Kan News, against the backdrop of renewed hostilities between the U.S. and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz region.

Sources briefed by the U.S. administration clarified that the current objective is not to expand the conflict but to continue operations aimed at reducing the threat posed by Iran to shipping vessels. The U.S. expressed satisfaction with its forces' success in helping oil tankers navigate the Strait despite Iranian blockades, claiming that the volume of barrels passing through the area this week is close to pre-conflict levels.

International observers tracking maritime traffic confirmed an increase in activity, though some expressed skepticism regarding the precise figures presented by the administration. Meanwhile, Tehran is threatening countries that cooperate with new sanctions imposed by Washington.

An Iranian political activist opposing the regime warned Kan News on Tuesday that the economic pressure on the public is not directly impacting the government. He suggested that harsher sanctions could strengthen extremist elements within Iran, potentially leading to an irreversible situation.
