U.S. President Donald Trump intends to adopt a strategy of non-intervention regarding Iran, anticipating the eventual collapse of the Iranian regime, according to a White House official cited by Al Jazeera. The U.S. asserts that the Strait of Hormuz remains open, with all naval mines neutralized or removed, and tankers carrying millions of barrels of oil pass through daily under escort. "The United States is in a strong position, given its dominance in the Strait of Hormuz and the collapse of the Iranian economy. Trump will not allow the Iranian regime to manipulate him as previous presidents have," the statement read.
Trump has previously expressed concerns that Iran could develop nuclear weapons within weeks and use them to attack other countries, with Israel being the primary target, followed by Europe and the U.S. He believes the Iranian leadership would not merely stockpile nuclear weapons but would use them. Earlier reports indicated Trump's confidence that a war with Iran would conclude swiftly, leading to a sharp drop in prices. Speaking to voters, the U.S. president stated that America would achieve an easy victory over Iran, which he claimed was ready to surrender and should not obtain nuclear weapons. He suggested this outcome could occur either before or after the midterm elections.
