Trump: Military options against Iran remain on the table
U.S. President Donald Trump highlighted the importance of economic sanctions against Iran, stating that military options have not been removed from consideration.

U.S. President Donald Trump answered questions from the press before his visit to the state of South Carolina. Emphasizing the great importance of the economic sanctions imposed on the Tehran administration, Trump stated that these measures do not rule out military options. Responding to a question about whether the sanctions limit the U.S.'s military capabilities in the region, Trump said that this is definitely not the case and that they are monitoring developments closely.

Trump claimed that the U.S. has achieved full control over the Strait of Hormuz and suggested that the Iranian side is willing to reach an agreement but is not yet ready for a consensus under the right conditions.
