Washington: US President Donald Trump has said that the issues regarding Iran are moving in the right direction and the war will end very soon. He once again expressed his determination that Iran will never be able to obtain nuclear weapons. In recent days, Trump has given continuous threatening messages to Tehran through his social media account 'Truth Social'. After meeting with Irish President Catherine Connolly in Dublin, the capital of Ireland on Sunday, reporters asked him if he could help ensure the flow of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz? In response, Trump said that everything is fine. He added that the war will end very soon and after that the oil prices will come down very quickly. Trump also said that he thinks Tehran has missiles that can target European cities. Trump told reporters: I think it will happen very soon. Probably right after the midterm elections. They are trying to resist as long as possible to complicate the elections, but I think people are aware of that. Commenting on the attack on the Saudi oil pipeline, US President Donald Trump said that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is a very close friend of his. He added that it is most likely that Iran was responsible for the attack. This statement came after the US President on Friday once again assured that the US would not allow Tehran to acquire nuclear weapons. New times have been set for tankers to cross the Strait of Hormuz, during which they will have US air protection. The move follows an increase in Iranian attacks on commercial vessels, especially at night. Ships have been instructed to start their voyages at specific times, such as 9 a.m. Tensions between the US and Iranian sides have increased in recent times. The reason for this was the termination of the agreement last June, after which the attention has been focused on this important shipping route. During the past few days, there has also been a situation like a war of boats between Iran and the United States. It should be clear that after the war between Iran and the United States started on February 28 this year, maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has been largely paralyzed due to Iranian threats. Normally, about 125 large commercial ships, including oil and gas tankers, bulk cargo ships and container ships, pass through the strait every day, but now their number has decreased to a few dozen. The Strait of Hormuz used to pass about 20 percent of the world's daily supply of crude oil and liquid natural gas. Later, Iran's crude oil exports have also stopped.
