We Might Be Occupiers in Iran: Trump

From the report

US President Donald Trump is reluctant to acknowledge military operations in Iran as a full-fledged war. He also discussed the possibility of describing the American presence in the country as an “occupation.” Concurrently, Trump asserted that the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy transportation routes, is under US control. Tehran, however, rejected Washington’s claim, stating that strategic control of the strait remains in its hands.

Trump made these remarks during an interaction with reporters after delivering a speech at a NASA facility in Florida, USA, on Friday (November 6).

Drawing a comparison between the Russia-Ukraine war and the ongoing conflict with Iran, the US President noted that 25,000 people were killed in the Russia-Ukraine war last October. In his view, that constitutes a genuine war. In contrast, he is unwilling to label the current hostilities with Iran as a war, claiming that no one has been injured there in the past few months.
