Reality on the ground looks different as Trump insists Iran war is nearing an end
US President Donald Trump claims the Iran war is nearing an end, despite the Pentagon deploying 10,000 additional troops to the Middle East. The US is maintaining a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, halting 90% of Iran's international trade.
US President Donald Trump stated that the Iran war is close to ending in a Fox Business interview. However, the Pentagon has deployed 10,000 additional US troops to the Middle East, including 6,000 on the USS George HW Bush.
