As we inch closer to one month of the war, today marking the 29th day, US President Donald Trump, in a speech at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute summit in Miami Beach, Florida said that the war is “not yet finished.” He added that there are “another 3,554” targets left to hit in Iran. “That’ll be done pretty quickly.”
Here are key developments in the past 24 hours
– Trump, in his speech, referred to the Strait of Hormuz as “Strait of Trump.” — “They have to open it up, they have to open up the Strait of Trump. I mean Hormuz,” he told the crowd, adding, “Excuse me, I’m so sorry. Such a terrible make,” he said jokingly. “Fake news will say ‘he accidentally said.’ No, there’s no accidents with me. Not too many.”
– In addition to the two US aircraft carriers already in the region, the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier is likely to be deployed to a region close to the ongoing conflict with Iran, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. The aircraft carrier will go to US Central Command’s area of responsibility, which includes the Middle East.
– Criticising European members of NATO for not backing the US during its ongoing war with Iran, Trump said it might scale back its spending. “I think a tremendous make was when NATO just wasn’t there,” he said on Friday.
