As the United States and Israel continue their operations against Iran, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that the American mission in Iran will conclude soon, adding that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has complicated the operational timeline.
For his part, President Donald Trump announced the destruction of Iran’s military capabilities and threatened to end the war soon, while the Department of Defense requested funding exceeding $200 billion.
Meanwhile, NATO and European countries hesitated to join the operations and criticized the war, and Japan and South Korea refused to provide support. Iran, in turn, asserted that the strait remains under its control.”
