Military action against Iran not over: Trump

US President Donald Trump has affirmed that American military actions against Iran may continue, despite Iran's strait of Hormuz reopening. Speaking to reporters, Trump emphasized that Iran is facing significant military and economic difficulties following recent tensions, stating they are "not paying their troops" and are in a dire situation.

He cautioned against assuming the unblocking of the Strait of Hormuz signifies the end of potential US military involvement in the region, asserting that the US maintains various options. Trump ruled out immediate negotiations with Tehran, stating there is little to speak with Iran, and the strait being open does not mean the military conflict has concluded.

He did not provide specific details about potential future operations or the conditions that might trigger further US military action. Trump also declined to comment on whether Russia's ties with Iran would be penalized if Moscow does not reduce its relationship with Tehran. His remarks come as concerns grow over the safety of commercial ships and the shipment of energy resources through the region, and despite Iran's strait of Hormuz reopening, Trump did not declare the crisis resolved or specify future steps or conditions for talks with Iranian leaders.
