US President Donald Trump stated that the United States does not seek to control the Strait of Hormuz but remains committed to taking necessary measures to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. In press statements, Trump clarified that Washington considers the current situation a political "skirmish" rather than a full-scale war, anticipating that Tehran will show a readiness to negotiate in the future. These remarks coincide with intensive international diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions in the Gulf region, ensuring navigational security in strategic maritime corridors.
