Trump says Strait of Hormuz is 'sort of open right now,' believes Iran 'can't go much longer'
On Wednesday, the White House refuted reports that Trump and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had argued about a lack of munitions in the wake of the war with Iran.
US President Donald Trump expressed optimism on Thursday regarding the potential end of conflict with Iran, stating, "I don't think they [Iran] can go much longer." He also commented on the Strait of Hormuz, noting it is "sort of open right now" due to a US Navy-led blockade, while acknowledging the risk of mines. Trump refuted reports of munitions shortages, asserting, "We have literally massive amounts of ammunition." He reiterated opposition to Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, stating, "We're not going to let that happen." Reports from Axios and MS NOW indicated that the US, Iran, and Oman were nearing a 60-day deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirming progress in talks.
