Trump Claims US Operations Have Weakened Iran and Calls for Support in Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump claimed that US and Israeli military operations have significantly weakened Iran's military, destroying over 7,000 targets including more than 30 mine-laying ships, and reducing missile and drone attacks by around 90-95%. He described Iran as a "paper tiger" with its air force and navy largely incapacitated. Trump emphasized the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, stating it remains secure and called on allied nations to assist in maintaining its safety, noting the US imports less than 1% of its oil through the strait.
