Trump Says ‘No Time Frame’ on Iran War as Blockade Standoff Stalls Talks
- President Donald Trump said on Wednesday there is "no time frame" for ending the war with Iran, emphasizing the United States is under "no time pressure" as the ceasefire holds and peace talks remain uncertain.
- The United States Navy continues its blockade of Iranian ports to secure the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which roughly 20 percent of the world's oil travels, despite ongoing mine-laying activities.
- Trump ordered the United States Navy on Thursday to "shoot and kill" any boats placing mines in the strait, declaring he is "possibly the least pressured person ever to be in this position."
- Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf condemned the blockade as "holding the global economy hostage," while Iran reportedly seized two cargo vessels in the waterway earlier this week.
- Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced Wednesday that Navy Secretary John Phelan is leaving his position "effective immediately," while Trump indicated gas prices may remain elevated "for a little while" due to the conflict.
