Tehran [Iran], March 21: U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that the United States is "getting very close to" meeting its objectives in the military strikes on Iran.
The country is considering winding down its military attacks in the Middle East with respect to Iran, Trump said on Truth Social.
He also said the Strait of Hormuz should be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other countries that use it.
"The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it -- The United States does not! If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn't be necessary once Iran's threat is eradicated," Trump said.
