Trump again: 'Iran lost all its defences, war will end soon, fuel prices drop'

US President Donald Trump has reiterated that the war on Iran will end “very soon”, while claiming Washington was in "total control" of the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking at a rally in Bullhead City, Arizona, Trump said Iran had lost its navy, air force, radar systems, and air defences. “Their first level leaders are gone. They picked a second level. Their second level leaders have gone. They picked the third level. Half of them are gone, they made me promise not to take out anymore. And I did. I promised them. he said. “So I probably went a little too far. I’m sorry, because I don’t know who the hell we’re dealing with anymore.” Trump said the conflict had pushed up fuel prices, but will drop "very soon" when the war ends.
