Trump determined to end Iran war soon, US president's senior adviser tells Euronews

Massad Boulos, senior adviser to the US president on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs, said Donald Trump was working to end the months-long war, pointing out he was a "person who delivers".

US President Donald Trump has stated that he is facing a significant decision regarding potential military action against Iran. He expressed that he is weighing the options, mentioning the possibility of "annihilating" Iran.

The situation is complex, with Iran's economy under strain due to sanctions, including a weakened rial and inflation around 65%. Despite this, Iran continues to disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway in the Gulf.

Trump's decision comes as Houthi rebels in Yemen, an ally of Iran, have made advances along the Red Sea coast, potentially gaining leverage to disrupt maritime shipping in the area.
