Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said the Islamic Republic was only three to four weeks, or even less, away from acquiring nuclear weapons, and that the United States had no choice but to take action.

Trump added that for months Iran has been unable to even pass a single ship through the Strait of Hormuz, and that the United States is removing millions of barrels of oil from the region. He said the crisis would end “very soon,” in any way, and afterward, the oil price will quickly fall.
