US President Donald Trump stated that an average of 30 tankers pass through the Strait of Hormuz every day and added that the strait is in “very good condition”.
“Elchi” reports that after making a statement regarding drug prices at the White House, President Trump answered journalists’ questions about current events.
Trump avoided giving clear statements on whether the resumption of attacks on Iran was part of a limited plan or if it would turn into a full-scale war.
Claiming that Iran is a “failed country”, the US President said: “But that doesn’t mean we won’t teach them a lesson. We will see what happens.”
Explaining that approximately 30 tankers pass through the Strait of Hormuz every day with the help of the US Navy, Trump said: “The Strait of Hormuz is in extremely good condition. An average of 30 ships pass through every night. A lot of oil is coming through. That is why you see that oil prices are not rising as expected.”
Claiming that the US is doing a “very good” job first in Venezuela and then in Iran, Trump commented, “Iran will never have nuclear weapons. If Iran had nuclear weapons, a country like Israel would not exist right now.” Emphasizing that there is no possibility of Iran using chemical weapons, Trump claimed that they have already largely destroyed Tehran’s military potential.
