President Donald Trump described the U.S.-Iran conflict as nearing its end, claiming significant damage to Iran’s military and warning against any attempts to block navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking from his Florida golf club amid political gatherings, he framed the military action as a necessary, short-term effort to eliminate threats, while acknowledging American casualties and expressing resolve to continue the campaign. Despite Trump’s optimistic tone, the Department of Defense emphasized that the fight is ongoing and vowed to show “no mercy.”
