President Trump on Saturday declared victory over Iran and called for other countries to assist in a “team effort” to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and safe while US forces continue “bombing the hell out of the shoreline” and shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water.
Trump has said numerous times that the US has already won the war.
In an interview on Thursday, Trump told Fox’s Brian Kilmeade, “I don’t think it’s going to be long” until US operations in the region end, but did not specify what he meant. Asked when it will be over, Trump said, “When I feel it in my bones.”

We had the greatest economy in history; we still do. Oh, this will bounce right back. When it’s over, this is going to bounce right back so fast.
“The United States of America has beaten and completely decimated Iran, both Militarily, Economically, and in every other way,” Trump said on Saturday.
This comes the day after US forces executed the “most powerful bombing raids” in the history of the Middle East on Iran’s Kharg Island in response to Iran’s threats and targeting of ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

Now, the President is describing Iran as “totally decapitated” and saying that “many countries” are going to send warships to the Strait.
“Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated,” Trump said.
“In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE!”
Full statement below:
Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
In a follow-up statement, Trump doubled down on his proclamation of complete decimation, as well as his calls for “the Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait” to “take care of that passage.”
The U.S. will also coordinate with those Countries so that everything goes quickly, smoothly, and well. This should have always been a team effort, and now it will be — It will bring the World together toward Harmony, Security, and Everlasting Peace!” he said:
The United States of America has beaten and completely decimated Iran, both Militarily, Economically, and in every other way, but the Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage, and we will help — A LOT! The U.S. will also coordinate with those Countries so that everything goes quickly, smoothly, and well. This should have always been a team effort, and now it will be — It will bring the World together toward Harmony, Security, and Everlasting Peace! President DONALD J. TRUMP
