Middle East Eye reports that US President Donald Trump has once again stated that the war on Iran will end "very soon," while claiming that Washington is in total control of the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking at a rally in Bullhead City, Arizona, Trump reiterated that Iran has lost its navy, air force, radar systems, and air defences, asserting that Iran's leadership has been decimated.

He claimed that Iran's first, second, and even some of its third-level leaders have been removed, leaving Iran in a state of disarray. Trump also mentioned that the conflict has caused fuel prices to rise, but that they will drop significantly once the war concludes.
