Event Summary

Donald Trump, President of the United States, stated that he would not use nuclear weapons in the conflict with Iran. He emphasized the United States' strong economy and sufficient oil supply, noting that many ships are now heading to the United States instead of the Strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump asserted that the United States has 'total control' over the Strait of Hormuz and is deliberately keeping it closed to pressure Iran into a lasting deal. He claimed significant progress in negotiations and stated that the United States has already struck 78% of its targets in Iran. Donald Trump also mentioned that Iran is facing urgent pressure due to its oil situation and that further military action remains an option. Additionally, Iran agreed to halt the execution of several women following a request from the United States, and Donald Trump insisted that Iran must cut off funding to Hezbollah as part of any agreement.
