US President Donald Trump confirmed that the military confrontation in Iran has reached its final stages, indicating that Tehran has almost completely lost its defensive and offensive capabilities. Trump clarified in media statements that Iranian forces no longer possess an effective naval or air force, and their communication systems have been disrupted, putting them in a critical military situation.
The US President pointed out that Washington has made significant progress in implementing its military and political plans, exceeding the previously set timeline of four to five weeks. He added that the US administration is currently evaluating the next phase of the conflict, considering that the strategic objectives of the United States are being achieved on the ground faster than expected.
Regarding the new Iranian leadership, Trump sent a firm message to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, affirming that he has no messages for him at the moment. The US President went further by revealing his consideration of choosing an alternative figure to take the reins in Tehran, without disclosing the identity of potential candidates or the nature of this anticipated political change.
On the international navigation front, Trump addressed the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, stating that commercial vessels are currently passing through it without significant obstacles. However, the US President hinted at the possibility of imposing full control over the strategic strait in the near future, a step that could redraw the map of naval influence in the Arabian Gulf region and secure global energy supplies.
Diplomatically, the Kremlin revealed a phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart, during which Putin presented proposals aimed at reaching a quick and comprehensive settlement to the war in Iran. During the conversation, the two leaders discussed other thorny international issues, including the conflict in Ukraine and the deteriorating situation in Venezuela, amid reports indicating Washington's intention to ease oil sanctions on Moscow.
Economically, global energy markets experienced a severe shock immediately after these announcements, with futures prices for Brent and US crude oil falling by more than 5%. These losses are driven by expectations of increased oil supply if the Trump administration eases restrictions on Russian exports, reflecting a significant overlap between military issues in the Middle East and global economic balances.
The war in Iran is nearing its end, and they no longer have naval, air, or even communication capabilities.
