Trump: The US is thinking about “calming down”, but other countries will have to control the Strait of Hormuz

Donald Trump stated last night on Truth Social that the United States is nearing its objectives, specifically considering a reduction of substantial military deployments within the Middle East concerning the Iranian terrorist regime. The president is actively thinking about scaling back these large-scale operations. However, Trump emphasized the continued necessity of defending and monitoring the Hormuz Strait.

He asserted that “the United States will not” undertake this responsibility, suggesting that other countries would need to step in if required. He clarified, “If they ask us, we will help these countries with their efforts, but it should not be necessary at all when the Iranian threat is eliminated.” Trump stressed the importance of maintaining a limited military involvement for those assisting nations. The US President is contemplating a phased withdrawal from operations targeting Iran.

This approach prioritizes the elimination of the Iranian threat as the primary solution, aiming for a light military operation for involved countries.
