We Have Our Eyes on Jebel al-Fars and Can Strike If Necessary,” Warns US President Donald Trump
WASHINGTON: United States President Donald Trump has announced an important strategic success in his fight against Iran, warning again and suggesting possible military action on locations in the region.
In a recent policy statement, Trump claimed Tehran was “on the verge of total collapse,” and reiterated that Iran “will never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.” “If we need to, we will go after them at Jebel al-Fars, because nothing is more secure than the military of the United States,” Trump threatened. Taking his remarks one step further, President Trump made a controversial proposal to officially rename the strategic Strait of Hormuz as the “Strait of Trump.
Trump, who has been predicting the trajectory of the ongoing confrontation, said it would mostly play itself out after the next elections in November, when global oil prices are predicted to fall. He claimed that Tehran is waiting to see a less strong leadership in the U.S. in order to evade international pressure, and, in a playful way, proposed to offer monetary rewards to U.S. voters to support the Republican candidates.In the meantime, the White House warnings of prolonged conflict and of concerns regarding the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North continue.
according to reports from The Wall Street Journal, top administration officials—including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio—have privately cautioned President Trump that the open-ended conflict with Iran could persist throughout the remainder of his presidential term.It’s the latest warning to come from Trump, whose words on the day before warned that conflict with Iran would be far from the mid-term elections, holding firm on expectations for global energy markets.
