US President Donald Trump, in a statement to reporters before the Coast Guard Academy Graduation Ceremony held in Connecticut, expressed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would act under his guidance regarding attacks on Iran. Trump claimed that Iran's military and political capacity has been largely weakened, stating that he is not acting hastily on this matter and that the upcoming midterm elections do not pressure him. Additionally, Trump, who gave a positive opinion about Vladimir Putin's visit to China, emphasized the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and announced that they will make initiatives on this issue. Responding to criticisms that the tension with Iran is prolonged, Trump recalled that the US stayed in Afghanistan and Iraq for a long time, stating that in the three-month ongoing process regarding Iran, a ceasefire has mostly been maintained and losses have been limited.
