President Donald Trump said ensuring Iran doesn't have any nuclear capabilities, not opening the Strait of Hormuz, is the war's focus.
Trump said the United States’s forces are “obliterating” Iranian military forces, but there is more work to do to rid the country of its offensive capabilities. . “They have no strength left, and let the countries that are using the strait, let them go and open it … because I would imagine whoever’s controlling the oil will be very happy to open the strait.

He also explained that Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was “actually bigger than we thought” but that U.S. forces are taking away the country’s nuclear ability and have secured a regime change that is “much more reasonable than previous.” Pakistan has positioned itself as a mediator between Iran and the U.S., but Trump said he would not reveal whether he would dispatch a negotiating team to meet with the Iranian diplomats in Pakistan.
