Donald Trump said the Islamic Republic was only a few weeks away from reaching a nuclear weapon and that the United States had no choice but to act.

Trump described the leaders of the Islamic Republic as “crazy,” and said the U.S. has almost complete control of the Strait of Hormuz, and that the Islamic Republic has not been able to pass even a single ship through the blockade. He stressed that the war would end soon; either the Islamic Republic makes a smart decision, or its conditions will change quickly.
