Trump says renewed military effort against Iran will not last 'too long'

President Donald Trump said a renewed U.S. military effort against Iran will not last “too long,” but he did not provide a specific timeline. He suggested the campaign would end shortly and argued that his Iran decisions are not tied to the upcoming midterm elections, noting he is not on the ballot. When asked what remains to be targeted, Trump pointed to the U.S. “controlling” the Strait of Hormuz and said strikes are aimed at Iran’s alleged aggression toward vessels transiting the waterway. He also reiterated that the U.S. hit Iran’s radar systems and mine-related capabilities in Hormuz.
