The US president has revealed on social media that Iran's military capabilities have been significantly weakened and that the United States has commenced efforts to open the Strait of Hormuz. This passage is crucial for the global oil supply, handling 20% of the world's shipments.
However, the president's statement left ambiguity regarding whether the initiative involves addressing mines within the strait or tackling Iran's overall influence in the region.
The president noted the strategic significance of the move, stating it was a favor to countries worldwide, including China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, among others, criticizing their hesitance to undertake the task independently.
