Trump believes he has already won in Iran
This was stated by US President Donald Trump on Truth Social.
Donald Trump has called on China, Great Britain, France, Japan and South Korea to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz for joint patrols.
Many countries, especially those affected by Iran's attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz, will send warships in conjunction with the United States of America to keep the strait open and safe.

According to Trump, despite the fact that Tehran's main forces have been defeated, the risk of minor sabotage remains due to the actions of the country's leadership, which has been "completely beheaded."
He noted that it is still easy for Iran to send one or two drones or plant a mine along a waterway.
The US President emphasized Washington's determination to finally stabilize the region.
The United States will heavily bomb the coastline and constantly destroy Iranian boats and ships. One way or another, we will soon make the Strait of Hormuz open, safe, and free.
