Trump says U.S. military action against Iran will "end soon"
On the 9th local time, U.S. President Trump stated at a press conference in Miami, Florida, that the U.S. military actions against Iran would "soon" come to an end, but "will not" end this week.
Trump also mentioned the timeline for military actions against Iran, the navigation of the Strait of Hormuz and international energy security, and the selection of Iran's new Supreme Leader.
Trump stated that if Iran affects global oil supply, it will face a more severe strike; he also indicated that when the time is right, the U.S. Navy will escort ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump noted that the rise in international oil prices was lower than he expected, as he had anticipated an increase in energy prices even before initiating actions against Iran. He stated that he would lift some oil-related sanctions to stabilize oil prices.
Regarding the attack on a primary school in the southern Iranian city of Minab, Trump said that the incident is still under investigation.
When discussing Iran's election of Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader, Trump expressed disappointment over the situation.
