President Donald Trump on Friday signaled that an end to the Iran war is fast approaching.
He listed five objectives that are nearing completion, including the degradation of Iran’s missile systems, the destruction of the nation’s defense production, the elimination of its Navy and Air Force, preventing the regime from obtaining nuclear weapons, and protecting neighboring countries.
The president said assistance from allies will be needed to protect the Strait of Hormuz after the United States departs.
“The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not!” Trump wrote. “If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated.”
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
