US President Donald Trump indicated that the United States has “complete control” of the Strait of Hormuz through the blockade, which he described as a “steel wall,” noting that 75% of Iran’s missile capabilities have been eliminated. He said the dispute over Iran "will end very soon," adding that his country would not allow Iran to keep highly enriched uranium. He added, "Washington is conducting negotiations with Tehran, and it will get what it wants one way or another," while Iran is suffering losses amounting to $500 million a day.
