President Donald Trump has stated that the United States is considering ending the Iran war, but rejected any immediate ceasefire. This comes as Iran's President, Mojtaba Khamenei, claims that his country's enemies are being "defeated". The conflict has disrupted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global oil shipments, and has led to higher crude prices and uncertainty in global markets. Despite this, Trump downplayed the impact on the U.S. and urged other nations to assist in resolving the issue. The Pentagon is reportedly deploying up to 2,500 additional Marines to the region, despite no ground invasion planned.
