Trump says Iran war will end soon; the Strait of Hormuz will "open automatically"

Golden Finance reported that on March 31, according to the New York Post, Trump said during an interview on Tuesday that he believes the Iran war could end soon and that other countries can reopen the Strait of Hormuz on their own. “We’re not going to be there for too long. We’re currently completely destroying them,” Trump said in the phone interview. Trump said the Strait of Hormuz has been closed by Iran for 31 days, causing global energy prices to skyrocket, while other countries can handle the issue themselves. “I think it will automatically reopen, but my attitude is that I’ve already destroyed this country, and the countries using that strait can open it themselves… because I think the people who control the oil would be very happy to reopen the strait.” When asked by the Wall Street Journal about reports that he was willing to end the war without the strait being reopened, Trump said: “To be honest, I’m not going to think about that. My only job is to make sure they don’t have nuclear weapons. They won’t have nuclear weapons. When we leave, the strait will automatically open.”
