Trump acknowledges Iran operation took longer than expected
U.S. President Donald Trump spoke about how the military operations against Iran have taken longer than expected, as the war enters its seventh month. He stated that Washington was forced to use its military power for a longer period to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, with clashes continuing in the Strait of Hormuz and a decline in maritime traffic there. He also indicated that the war has led to rising oil prices, with the barrel surpassing $100, adding pressure on the administration ahead of the November midterm elections, amid escalating political and economic costs.
