Trump Assures Israel Not to Worry About Iran Conflict

President Donald Trump stated that Israel should not be concerned about a potential renewed conflict with Iran, vowing to continue protecting the Jewish state as long as he remains in office. "Israel should not worry about a renewed war with Iran. I am the President, and I will take care of protecting Israel," Trump told Kan news on Wednesday evening. These remarks come amid escalating exchanges between the United States and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz region.

According to U.S. administration officials briefed on the latest developments, Washington is not currently seeking to broaden the confrontation or return to a large-scale war. Instead, the focus is on continuing the limited military operations conducted over the past two days, aimed at reducing the risk of Iranian attacks on ships in the region.

The U.S. administration expressed satisfaction with its forces' success in assisting oil tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz, despite Iran's claims of imposing a blockade on navigation. Washington asserts that the volume of oil passing through the strait this week has neared pre-conflict levels.

However, international entities monitoring maritime traffic in the area express skepticism regarding the accuracy of the U.S. administration's figures. Nevertheless, they confirm an increase in the number of vessels successfully navigating the strait.
