Trump rules out nuclear and ground plans in Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump's statements focused on ruling out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran and rejecting the deployment of American ground forces on Iranian territory, as part of Washington’s efforts to address Iranian threats through limited diplomatic and military means. Trump emphasized that the United States maintains control over the Strait of Hormuz and is working to reduce nuclear risks through communication channels with Russia and China, with expectations of soon ending tensions with Iran. Such developments could lead to a decline in oil markets and fuel prices. In the realm of economic pressure, Washington imposed new sanctions targeting 16 individuals and 10 entities, notably the Cuban bank "Biska," aiming to cut off Tehran’s financial resources. This is amidst heightened tensions, with the Cuban government condemning the sanctions as aggressive. On the ground, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) denied Iran’s claims of control over the Strait of Hormuz, reaffirming that safe passage is guaranteed and that the waterway remains secure, despite assertions by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. CENTCOM added that over 40 ships passed safely within 24 hours, amid ongoing tension in the Gulf region.
