This statement comes amid growing domestic and international pressure on the White House administration to end the war with Iran as quickly as possible, Reuters reports.

"Given a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, TAKE THE OIL, AND MAKE A FORTUNE," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Despite promises of a quick victory, the American president's rhetoric remains harsh. Addressing the nation on Wednesday evening, Trump offered no clear timeline for a cessation of hostilities and reiterated threats to destroy Iran's civilian power plants. These statements provoked retaliatory threats from Tehran and led to another decline in global stock markets.
