Amid escalating tensions, Donald Trump said Iran is “not so strong” compared to a month ago, while acknowledging its forces remain “capable fighters.” His remarks come as negotiations continue over a potential ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump indicated Iran had made a “significant” proposal, though insufficient, as military operations persist. He reiterated that the conflict centres on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The statement reflects Washington’s dual stance of pressure and negotiation, even as Tehran maintains firm conditions for a permanent resolution, keeping geopolitical and energy market uncertainties elevated.
