Trump Predicts Short Conflict with Iran, Ormuz Strait to Open

In a phone interview with The New York Post, former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the conflict with Iran would not last much longer. He also predicted that the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime route for global energy supplies, would automatically reopen after the United States' departure. Trump stated, "We're not going to be there much longer. Right now we're kicking the hell out of them".

The former Republican president insisted that the United States has "wiped out the country" and that the Islamic republic "has no strength left". This statement reflects his perspective on the current situation and his confidence in the ability of the United States to influence the conflict.

Although Trump anticipates a quick exit for the United States, he also noted that there is work to be done to weaken Iran's offensive capabilities. The White House communicated that military operations are estimated to last between four to six weeks to achieve the objectives in the war alongside Israel. Trump, along with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and members of the Republican Cabinet, have expressed their confidence in achieving these goals.

The main goal is to end Iran's nuclear program, destroy its ballistic missiles and Navy, and dismantle its arms production capacity. Trump has reiterated his threats against Iran's electrical and oil facilities if an agreement is not reached soon.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has announced that it will attack the Middle East offices of U.S. tech companies starting Wednesday. These companies, labeled as "spy terrorist companies," include Microsoft, Apple, and Google. This threat represents an escalation in tensions and a shift in the focus of the conflict.

The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is critical, as one-fifth of the world's oil and natural gas supply flowed through it before the war. The reopening of the strait is crucial for the stability of the global energy market, and Trump emphasized that this will happen automatically once the United States withdraws.
