Washington Asserts It Does Not Seek Control of Strait of Hormuz, Warns of Iranian Nuclear Ambitions

US President Donald Trump emphasized that the United States does not aim to control the Strait of Hormuz but will take all necessary measures to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. In press statements, Trump described the current confrontation with Tehran as a "clash" rather than a full-scale war, predicting that the Iranian leadership will soon show readiness to reach a new agreement regarding its nuclear program. These remarks coincide with intense diplomatic efforts to establish stability in the Gulf region and secure maritime navigation in strategic energy transport corridors.
