  • Trump Considers Gradual De-escalation of Military Actions Against Iran

    On March 21st, U.S. President Donald Trump stated on his social media platform "Truth Social" on March 20th, local time, that as they consider a gradual de-escalation of major military operations against the Iranian regime in the Middle East, they are very close to achieving their established goals: completely weakening Iran's missile capabilities, launch platforms, and all related facilities. Destroying Iran's defense industry base. Eliminating Iran's naval and air force, including air defense weapon systems. Never allowing Iran to even approach nuclear capability; meanwhile, the United States must always maintain a posture that allows for a swift and forceful counterattack should such a situation arise. Protecting U.S. allies in the Middle East, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and other countries, with the highest level of force. Trump stated that the guarding and patrolling of the Strait of Hormuz should be undertaken by other countries that use the strait when necessary, and the United States will no longer bear this responsibility. If invited to assist, the United States is willing to provide support for these countries' operations in the Strait of Hormuz, but such assistance will no longer be necessary once the threat from Iran is completely eliminated. Particularly importantly, for these countries, this would be a relatively easy military operation. (CCTV News)
